EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determined and regal presence of Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, born Duchess Elisabeth in Bavaria, Germany, in 1876. Married to Albert I in 1900, she became Queen of the Belgians in 1909. When the German army invaded Belgium during World War One in 1914, Elisabeth demonstrated remarkable courage and resistance. She refused to leave Brussels with the royal family, choosing instead to stay and care for the city's population. Elisabeth's popularity soared during this time as she worked tirelessly to provide food, shelter, and medical aid to the Belgian people. She defied the German occupiers by continuing to wear the Belgian flag on her clothing and by distributing Belgian coins, which were no longer in circulation. Her unwavering loyalty to her country and her people made her a symbol of Belgian resistance. This photograph, taken in 1915, shows Queen Elisabeth in her study at the Royal Palace of Brussels, surrounded by maps and military documents. Her intense focus and serious expression convey the gravity of the situation and her commitment to the Belgian cause. Despite the hardships and dangers she faced, Elisabeth remained steadfast in her duty to her country and her people, earning the admiration and respect of the Belgian people and the world. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of Queen Elisabeth of Belgium during World War One. It is a testament to her unwavering commitment to her country and her people, and to the enduring power of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
