EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures King Leopold II of Belgium, dressed in his full military regalia, in the year 1901. Leopold II, born on December 9, 1835, reigned as King of the Belgians from 1865 until his death in 1909. In this image, he is seen wearing the uniform of the Belgian Army, complete with epaulettes adorned with the royal Belgian insignia. Leopold II is known for his significant role in the history of Belgium and its colonial empire. He ascended to the throne at the young age of 21, following the abdication of his father, Leopold I. During his reign, Leopold II oversaw the expansion of the Belgian colonial empire, particularly in the Congo Free State, which became notorious for its brutal exploitation of natural resources and indigenous populations. Despite the controversial aspects of his reign, Leopold II remains an important figure in Belgian history. He was a patron of the arts and sciences, and his rule saw significant advancements in infrastructure development, including the construction of the Brussels-Mechelen railway and the expansion of the port of Antwerp. This photograph, taken in 1901, captures Leopold II in his later years as a powerful and commanding monarch, with the sword at his side, ready to lead his country and its people. The intricate details of his uniform, including the gold braid and the royal insignia, add to the grandeur and majesty of the image, making it a significant historical document and a testament to the legacy of King Leopold II of Belgium.
