EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful postcard features a captivating portrait of Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, also known as Elisabeth Gabriele Valerie Marie of Bavaria, who reigned as Queen Consort of the Belgians from December 23, 1909 to February 17, 1934. Born in Munich, Bavaria, Elisabeth was the daughter of Duke Karl Theodor in Bavaria and Princess Maria Josepha of Austria. She married King Albert I of Belgium in 1900, and upon his ascension to the throne, she became the Queen of the Belgians. The image on this postcard, taken in the early 1900s, captures Elisabeth's regal beauty and elegant grace. She is depicted wearing a grand, ornate gown and a diadem adorned with pearls and diamonds, reflecting her noble heritage and royal status. The background is simple, allowing the Queen's striking features and elegant attire to take center stage. Elisabeth was a beloved figure in Belgium, known for her charitable works and dedication to her husband and their five children. She was also an accomplished musician and patron of the arts. Tragically, she was killed in a car accident in 1934, leaving a lasting impact on the Belgian people. This postcard serves as a poignant reminder of her reign and the legacy she left behind as a beloved Queen and Duchess.
