Show GALLERY OF MIRRORS VERSAILLES Much world history has been made in this room. It was here that King William of Prussia, ancestor of William Hohcnzollern, was proclaimed pro-claimed Emperor of Germany on January 18, 1871. And it is here that we may expect to sec William Hohcnzollern proclaimed nobody, 4S years later. It was here that a humiliating surrender was dictated to France by Bismarck and it was here that the supreme war council of the civilized nations dictated its grim armistice terms that toppled over the throne of the Hohenzollerns in Prussia and the German Empire. The room is 237 feet long by 33 feet wide, and 43 feet from floor to ceiling. On one side 17 large windows look out upon the gardens. On the other side 17 large mirrors, the same size as the windows, reflect the glory of Versailles and the scenes of statecraft that periodically are enacted here.
