EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense scorn of a Benedictine nun as she confronts Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany during his visit to the Abbey of Namur in occupied Belgium, amidst the chaos of World War I in 1916. The colour litho by Eugene Damblans portrays a powerful moment that speaks volumes about defiance and resistance. The image showcases the nun's unwavering determination and refusal to owe anything to those who oppress her country. Her piercing gaze directly challenges the German emperor, symbolizing the resilience and strength of the Belgian people under occupation. Published in Le Petit Journal on September 3,1916, this illustration serves as an impactful piece of propaganda during wartime. It highlights not only the humiliation faced by Belgians but also their unwavering spirit against their occupiers. The historical significance is palpable as it reflects both religious devotion and national pride. The photograph encapsulates a pivotal period in history when Europe was ravaged by war, with Belgium being at its epicenter. Through this image, we witness a clash between royalty and faith, power versus righteousness. It stands as a testament to how individuals can defy even those deemed untouchable when driven by conviction. Overall, this print immortalizes an extraordinary moment where one woman's defiant expression echoes louder than any words spoken – forever etching her into history alongside countless others who fought for freedom during World War I.
