EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Queen of the Belgians on the Lines of the Yser; The Queen Crossing the Yser on a Footbridge), 1916, is an evocative photograph capturing a remarkable moment during the First World War. The image, from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916," features an unidentified photographer's documentation of Queen Elisabeth Gabrielle Valerie Marie of Bavaria, the Queen of the Belgians, as she bravely crossed the River Yser on a footbridge during a visit to the frontlines. The photograph depicts Queen Elisabeth, resplendent in her royal attire, accompanied by a soldier, as they make their way across the footbridge over the river. The Yser, a significant geographical feature in the Flanders region of Belgium, had become a crucial defensive line during the war, with both sides heavily fortified along its banks. The image captures the stark reality of the battlefield, with soldiers and men in uniform visible in the background, while the Queen's presence serves as a symbol of hope and resilience amidst the chaos of war. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the role of royalty during times of conflict, as well as the courage and determination of the Belgian people in the face of adversity. The image, with its timeless composition and evocative subject matter, continues to captivate viewers and historians alike, offering a unique glimpse into the history of the First World War and the indomitable spirit of the Belgian people.
