1948 1962 Abdicated Favour Feathers Holland Juliana Reigned Wilhelmina
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the regal presence of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, who reigned from 1890 to 1948. Born on August 31, 1880, Wilhelmina ascended to the throne at the young age of eleven following the assassination of her father, King William III. During her long and eventful reign, she demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience, particularly during World War II when she led her country through the German occupation. In this image, Queen Wilhelmina is depicted in profile, wearing the traditional Dutch crown adorned with feathers and pearls. Her expression is steady and determined, reflecting the unwavering commitment she showed to her people and her country. The photograph was taken in 1962, many years after her abdication in favor of her daughter, Queen Juliana, in 1948. Wilhelmina's decision to step down was a testament to her belief in the importance of the monarchy as a symbol of unity and continuity in Dutch history. This historical image is a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of Queen Wilhelmina, who remains an icon of Dutch royalty and a symbol of strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The intricate details of her crown and the elegant folds of her gown add to the sense of grandeur and majesty, making this a truly stunning and evocative portrait.
