Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou details why Théobald Chartran’s painting depicting the signing of the “Protocols of Peace” between the United States and Spain in August, 1898, is not historically accurate. He does not want a 1902 letter from the French ambassador at the time, Jules Cambon, to be attached to the painting’s provenance. Cortelyou shares the letter and compares Cambon’s list of attendees with his own meticulous secretarial notes from the event. Neither the photograph Frances Benjamin Johnston took the day after the actual signing nor Chartran’s painting provide a completely accurate representation of the attendees and setting.
