EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, who would later become Queen Wilhelmina (1890-1948), as a typical Dutch girl holding a tulip. The image, taken in the early 1890s, portrays Wilhelmina in traditional Dutch attire, complete with a lace collar and a simple, long-sleeved blouse. Her hair is styled in two braids, adorned with ribbons, and she gazes off into the distance with a thoughtful expression. The presence of the tulip in her hands adds a touch of Dutch heritage to the scene, as the flower is synonymous with the country's rich history and culture. Tulips have been a symbol of the Netherlands since the 16th century, when they were first introduced from Turkey and became a popular export. Wilhelmina was born on August 31, 1880, in The Hague, and became Queen of the Netherlands on November 6, 1890, following the abdication of her mother, Queen Wilhelmina (1810-1890). She reigned until her abdication on September 4, 1948, making her the longest-reigning monarch in Dutch history. During her reign, Wilhelmina navigated the complex political landscape of Europe, leading the Netherlands through World War I and II. She was known for her strong leadership and her commitment to the welfare of her people. This photograph, taken decades before her reign, offers a glimpse into her early life and the Dutch culture that shaped her. The image is a historical treasure from the Mary Evans Picture Library, adding depth and context to the story of Wilhelmina and the Netherlands. It is a reminder of a time when a young girl, holding a tulip, could one day become a powerful and respected monarch.
