EDITORS COMMENTS
Le roi des Belges, Albert I, makes his way to the Belgian Parliament in Brussels amidst the cheering crowds in this evocative photograph from the early days of the First World War. Taken in 1914 by the renowned French photographer Henneber, this image captures the intensity of the patriotic fervor that swept through the streets of Brussels as King Albert I, mounted on horseback, bravely faced the impending crisis. The July Crisis of 1914 had plunged Europe into war, and the Belgian monarch, a popular figure known for his courage and devotion to his people, was determined to lead them through the trials ahead. The photograph shows the king in the midst of a sea of people, many of whom are waving Belgian flags and clapping in approval. Soldiers, some on horseback, can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of urgency and importance of the moment. The buildings and streets of Brussels form a backdrop to the scene, their facades bearing witness to the historic events unfolding before them. The image is taken from the first volume of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919" published by the French magazine "L'Illustration" in 1924. It is a poignant reminder of the unity and resilience of the Belgian people during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty. The photograph also serves as a testament to the power of the monarchy as a symbol of national pride and unity during times of crisis.
