EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing a young Albert I engaged in conversation with his influential uncle, Leopold II. The year is 1904, and the image portrays an intimate scene between the two Belgian royals. Leopold II, known as the second King of Belgium from 1865 to 1909, gained notoriety for his involvement in establishing and exploiting the Congo Free State as a personal enterprise. This print offers a glimpse into their relationship during this era. The composition depicts Albert I dressed in military uniform, symbolizing his future role as commander-in-chief of the Belgian army. Seated by a grand fireplace, these men engage in deep discussion while surrounded by newspapers that likely hold news of great importance to their nation. The artist behind this lithograph is Georges d'Ostoya (also known as Dochinsky or Sochinsky), whose attention to detail brings life and color to this historical moment. Published in L'Assiette au Beurre - No. 181 Sep 1904, this piece was widely circulated at the time. Through this artwork's intricate engraving technique and vibrant colors, viewers are transported back to early 20th century Europe. It serves as both a visual representation of royalty and an important historical document capturing one family's influence on Belgium's political landscape during that time period.
