Throughout the reign of Emperor Nicholas II, state visits by French officials were of particular importance due to the crucial alliance between the two countries. The French President Émile Loubet (1838-1929), paid a state visit to Russia between 14-27 May 1902. The present portfolio was given to President Loubet by the zemstvo of St Petersburg on this occasion.
During his 1902 visit, President Loubet was also presented with a number of traditional Russian gifts, including a bratina, stopa and kovsh. Some of the Imperial and dedicatory gifts prepared for the visit of President Loubet, including this album, were illustrated in the 1902 edition of the journal Niva, St Petersburg. Throughout his time in public office, President Loubet was further decorated with a variety of Russian orders.
