EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed French hosts, His Majesty Oscar II, King of Sweden and Norway. The front cover illustration from Le Petit Journal's supplement illustre on 26th March 1899 beautifully captures the regal presence of this distinguished monarch. Created by Henri Meyer, a renowned artist of his time, this color lithograph is now part of a private collection. King Oscar II (1829-1907) exudes authority and nobility in this portrait. With a well-groomed beard and mustache complementing his mature features, he wears an impressive military uniform adorned with various medals and decorations. As ruler over both Sweden and Norway, he commands respect through his dignified appearance. The grayscale tones accentuate the king's distinguished grey hair while highlighting intricate details such as epaulettes on his shoulders. This illustration serves as a testament to the historical significance of King Oscar II's reign in both countries. Meyer's artistic talent shines through in this masterful depiction that graced the pages of Le Petit Journal magazine over a century ago. Preserved for generations to appreciate, it offers us a glimpse into European royalty during that era.
