EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover image is from a children's book published by Princess Marie Josee of Belgium during World War I. The Princess, known for her humanitarian efforts, took the initiative to raise funds for the Vestiaire Marie-Jose, an organization dedicated to providing essential supplies and support to Belgian refugees displaced by the war. The book, which is believed to date back to around 1915, was one of several projects undertaken by the Princess to help alleviate the suffering of her people. The cover art features a whimsical scene of children playing and laughing, seemingly oblivious to the turmoil of the world around them. The use of vibrant colors and intricate detailing adds to the enchanting quality of the illustration. The title of the book, "Le Livre des Merveilles" or "The Book of Wonders," is inscribed at the top, further emphasizing the magical and imaginative nature of the publication. The Princess's children's book was an effective means of raising awareness and funds for the Vestiaire Marie-Jose. The proceeds from the sales of the book went directly towards providing clothing, food, and other necessities to the refugees. This heartwarming initiative not only brought joy to children through the reading of the book but also made a significant impact on the lives of those affected by the war. The Princess's compassionate efforts serve as a reminder of the power of community and the importance of coming together to support those in need during times of hardship.
