EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished figure of Adolphe Max (1869-1939), a prominent Liberal politician and Mayor of Brussels, Belgium, in the early 1910s. The image, taken around 1913-1914, shows Max in his official mayoral attire, exuding an air of authority and confidence. The intricate design of his uniform, adorned with various buttons and insignia, reflects the traditional regalia of the Burgomaster of Brussels during that era. Adolphe Max was a highly respected and influential political figure in Belgium, known for his commitment to democratic values and progressive policies. He served as Mayor of Brussels for three terms between 1908 and 1912, and again from 1918 until his death in 1939. Max's tenure as Mayor coincided with a period of significant social and political change in Belgium, including the lead-up to World War I. The photograph captures Max in profile, with a thoughtful and introspective expression on his face. His piercing gaze and stern posture convey a sense of determination and resilience, reflecting the challenges that lay ahead for both Brussels and Belgium as a whole. Despite the looming threat of war, Max remained steadfast in his dedication to serving the people of Brussels and upholding the city's rich cultural heritage. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the life of a remarkable political leader and the history of Brussels during a pivotal moment in time.
