EDITORS COMMENTS
En Belgique delivree; La reception des souverains belges, le 12 novembre 1918. at l'hotel de ville de Bruxelles liberee de la veille" (In Belgium Delivered; The Reception of the Belgian Sovereigns, November 12, 1918, at the Liberated Town Hall of Brussels) is an evocative photograph from the aftermath of World War I. The image, captured in 1918, shows a grand reception held in the Town Hall of Brussels to welcome King Albert I and Queen Elisabeth of Belgium back to their liberated country. The King and Queen, dressed in formal attire, are seen standing on the balcony of the Town Hall, waving to the cheering crowd below. The people of Belgium had eagerly awaited their return, as the country had been under German occupation since the early days of the war. The mood is one of jubilation and relief, as the long-awaited peace was finally within reach. King Albert I, dressed in his military uniform, is seen with a determined expression on his face, while Queen Elisabeth, dressed in a flowing white gown, looks radiant and regal. By her side is Princess Elisabeth of Bavaria, who had married Albert in 1900 and had been a constant source of support during the trying times of the war. The interior of the Town Hall is also visible in the photograph, with its ornate decorations and grand staircase, adding to the sense of grandeur and celebration. The print, from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Belgian people during the tumultuous period of World War I. The photograph captures a moment of victory and liberation, as the Belgian monarchy and people came together to celebrate the end of the war and the beginning of a new era for their country. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the importance of peace and unity in the aftermath of conflict.
