EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving captures the infamous King Leopold II of Belgium, portrayed in a Vanity Fair caricature from 1869. Leopold II (1835-1909) was a constitutional monarch who ruled over Belgium for an impressive reign of 44 years. However, his legacy is marred by his involvement in the Congo Free State, which he established as a personal enterprise. The chromolithograph print showcases the king's likeness and highlights his controversial actions during this period. Under Leopold II's rule, the Congo Free State became synonymous with exploitation and atrocities committed against its indigenous population. The image serves as a reminder of the dark chapter in history when greed and power overshadowed human rights. While this artwork may be seen as an artistic representation, it symbolizes the complex nature of historical figures like King Leopold II. It prompts us to reflect on how even those entrusted with leadership can succumb to their own ambitions at great cost to others. Duncan1890's photograph offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history and contemplate the consequences of unchecked power. It reminds us that behind every portrait lies a story worth exploring – one that challenges our understanding of humanity's capacity for both greatness and darkness.
