EDITORS COMMENTS
Albert 1er, Roi des Belges" (Albert I, King of the Belgians), 1914 is a striking and poignant portrait of the Belgian monarch, captured during one of the most tumultuous periods in European history. This image, sourced from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919: Volume I" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1926, depicts King Albert I in military attire, wearing a cap adorned with a distinctive headdress and a colorful sash. The king's steely gaze and defiant posture convey a sense of determination and resilience, reflecting the unwavering spirit of the Belgian people during the early days of World War I. The backdrop of the photograph is unclear, but it is believed to have been taken at the Western Front, where Albert I led his troops in defense of his country against the invading German forces. The monarch, who reigned from 1909 until his death in 1934, was deeply committed to the welfare of his people and was known for his strong leadership during times of crisis. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the complexities of the First World War era, a time when the world was forever changed by the devastating consequences of conflict. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals and nations during this pivotal moment in history, and the enduring power of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The print, which is now part of The Print Collector's collection, is a testament to the historical significance of this period and the role that photography played in documenting the events of the time. It is a valuable addition to any collection focused on the First World War, European history, or the history of monarchy.
