EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the regal presence of Leopold I, the first King of the Belgians, who ruled from July 1831 until his death in December 1865. Born as a German prince, Leopold rose to the throne following Belgium's independence in 1830. The image, believed to have been taken in the 1840s, showcases the monarch in his military uniform, adorned with the distinctive epaulettes that would later become the inspiration for Belgium's first stamp issue. The centenary of this historic stamp release, known as the Epaulettes of 1849, is commemorated in this photograph. The stamp, which was issued in 1949, marked a significant milestone in Belgian philately and postal history. The design featured the intricate gold braid of Leopold's epaulettes, symbolizing the monarch's military prowess and the newfound independence of his nation. As the first Belgian king, Leopold I played a crucial role in shaping the country's identity and fostering its development. His reign was marked by political stability and economic progress, making him a beloved figure in Belgian history. This portrait, with its rich details and historical significance, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Leopold I and the indomitable spirit of the Belgian people.
