EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Albert I of Belgium solemnly takes the oath of office on December 23, 1905, as he ascends to the throne. The image captures a moment of profound significance in Belgian history, marking the beginning of Albert's reign which would last until his untimely death in 1934. Albert I, born on August 8, 1875, had been the Prince of Belgium since 1894 following the death of his father, Leopold II. However, it was not until the abdication of his uncle, King Leopold III, that Albert assumed the throne. The oath-taking ceremony took place in the grand Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Brussels, in the presence of the Belgian parliament and other dignitaries. Dressed in the traditional royal robes and wearing the crown of Belgium, Albert I raises his right hand, swearing to uphold the Constitution and protect the interests of his people. The serious expression on his face and the solemn atmosphere of the ceremony convey the gravity of the moment. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Albert I was just beginning his reign. It is a testament to the enduring power of the monarchy in Belgium and a reminder of the important role that Albert I played in shaping the country's history. Albert I's reign was marked by significant events, including the country's neutrality during World War I and his personal bravery during the Battle of the Lys in 1914. He is also remembered for his dedication to the Scouts and Guides movement and his love of the outdoors. This photograph captures a moment of transition and the beginning of a new era in Belgian history.
