Leopold II Takes Oath: A Momentous Occasion in Belgian History (1866) This evocative image captures the historic moment when Leopold II of Belgium took his constitutional oath on August 21, 1866, at the Brussels City Hall. The young king, dressed in the regal attire of the time, stands confidently before the assembled crowd, raising his right hand towards the heavens as he swears to uphold the country's constitution. The atmosphere is one of jubilation and hope, as the people of Belgium look on with faces filled with extreme pleasure and pride. Leopold II's oath-taking marked a significant turning point in Belgian history. Having ascended to the throne following the abdication of his father, Leopold I, the new king faced numerous challenges, both domestically and internationally. The constitutional oath he took that day was a commitment to rule in accordance with the country's democratic principles, ensuring the protection of individual freedoms and the rule of law. The scene is further enlivened by the lively participation of the crowd, with citizens of all ages and walks of life gathered to witness the momentous occasion. The women in the foreground, their faces unobstructed by veils, are a testament to the progressive spirit of the time. The men, dressed in their finest attire, display a sense of pride and unity, their expressions reflecting the hope that Leopold II's reign would usher in a new era of peace, prosperity, and stability for their beloved country. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into a pivotal moment in Belgian history and the enduring spirit of its people.
