EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a historic moment in Belgian history as King Albert I and Queen Elisabeth of Belgium inaugurate the Exposition International des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, or the International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, in Antwerp on 27 April 1930. The Exposition was a significant cultural event that showcased the latest advancements in decorative and industrial arts from around the world. King Albert I, who reigned from 1909 to 1934, is seen here in his military uniform, wearing the insignia of the Order of the Leopold, Belgium's highest decoration. Queen Elisabeth, dressed elegantly in a long white gown, holds a bouquet of flowers as they inspect the exhibition grounds. The couple's regal presence adds an air of grandeur to the occasion, drawing attention to the importance of the event both domestically and internationally. The Exposition was held in Antwerp, Belgium's second-largest city and a major port, to promote the city's industrial and cultural development. The event attracted millions of visitors from around the world and helped to boost Antwerp's reputation as a center for arts and industry. This photograph, taken in 1930, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Exposition and the important role that cultural events play in shaping the cultural and economic landscape of a city and a nation. The image captures a moment of pride and celebration in Belgian history, as the country's monarchs inaugurate an exhibition that would leave a lasting impact on the world.
