EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Astrid, the wife of Prince Leopold of Belgium (who would later become king), visits Belgium's African colonies in 1935. The image provides a glimpse into the colonial past of Belgium and showcases the royal couple's involvement in overseas territories.
Astrid appears elegant and regal as she explores the colonies, exuding grace and poise befitting her status as royalty. Her presence symbolizes the connection between Belgium and its African territories during this period, highlighting the complexities of colonial rule.
The photograph is a fascinating historical document that offers insight into the dynamics of power and influence at play in Belgian society at that time. It also serves as a reminder of the impact of European colonization on African nations, shedding light on a chapter of history that continues to shape global relations today.
As we reflect on this image from 1935, we are reminded of the importance of understanding our shared past and acknowledging both its triumphs and its darker moments. Through images like this one, we can gain a deeper appreciation for how historical events have shaped our world and influenced our present-day realities.
