EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the early days of the First World War, King Albert I of Belgium, resplendent in military uniform, rides his bicycle through the streets of Antwerp as he leads the retreat of his troops. The window of a nearby building frames the scene, offering a glimpse into the chaotic world outside as the Great War engulfs Europe. The king's determined expression and the broken pavement beneath his wheels speak to the harsh realities of war time, as the Belgian army, outnumbered and outgunned, makes its way to the port city of Antwerp in the face of advancing German forces. The soldiers and troops following behind, also on bicycles, mirror the king's resolve as they make their way through the crowded streets. The road ahead stretches out into the distance, filled with uncertainty and danger, but the king and his men press on, their commitment to their country and its defense unwavering. This powerful photograph, taken in 1914, is a testament to the indomitable spirit of King Albert I and the Belgian people during the early days of the First World War.
