1. Title: "Queen Sofia of Sweden (1836-1913): A Regal Portrait of the Consort of King Oscar II" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the enchanting likeness of Queen Sofia of Sweden, born Princess Sophia of Norway, who reigned as the consort of King Oscar II from 1857 until 1907. The image, taken during her later years, showcases the regal elegance and refined beauty that endeared her to the Swedish people. Born on January 14, 1836, in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway, Sophia was the eldest daughter of King Carl XVI of Norway and Princess Louise of the Netherlands. Her marriage to Oscar II, who ascended to the Swedish throne in 1872, united the two Scandinavian kingdoms through their personal union. As queen, Sophia was an influential figure in Swedish society, known for her patronage of the arts, education, and social welfare. She founded the Swedish Red Cross and the Swedish Society for the Protection of Animals, demonstrating her compassionate nature and commitment to improving the lives of her subjects. The photograph, captured by an unidentified photographer, reveals a mature and poised Queen Sofia, with her piercing gaze and regal bearing. Her intricately styled hair, adorned with a diamond diadem, and her formal attire, complete with a sash and star of the Order of the Seraphim, further emphasize her royal status. This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on Swedish history as the beloved consort of King Oscar II.
