EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable H. M. Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands in 1942, during the tumultuous years of World War II. The creator of this powerful image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. Queen Wilhelmina's regal presence is undeniable as she gazes downward, engrossed in reading a script or pamphlet. Her elegant attire reflects her status as a monarch, with a fur collar adorning her dress. Despite the somber times depicted by this photograph, there is an undeniable strength emanating from Queen Wilhelmina's expression. The image was featured in "Calling All Nations", a booklet authored by T. O. Beachcroft and published by The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) during wartime Britain. This publication aimed to rally support for the war effort through literature and media industry collaboration. Queen Wilhelmina's portrayal here serves as both publicity for her role as sovereign and inspiration for women across nations enduring hardship during World War II. Her resilience and determination are evident even in this monochrome depiction. Preserved by The Print Collector, this print encapsulates not only a significant moment in history but also pays homage to Queen Wilhelmina's unwavering leadership amidst global turmoil. It stands as a testament to her indomitable spirit and enduring legacy that continues to inspire generations today.
