EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1933 showcases a portrait of the enigmatic Queen Christina of Sweden, who reigned from 1626 to 1689. Despite her unconventional lifestyle and refusal to marry, she left an indelible mark on history. The unknown creator skillfully captures her essence in this image, which is based on a miniature by Pierre Signac. Queen Christina's unique personality shines through in this portrayal. Her masculine dressing style challenges societal norms of the time, while her curly hair adds a touch of femininity. The oval-shaped frame emphasizes her regal presence and highlights her status as a monarch. Taken from "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a book featuring cigarette-card portrait miniatures spanning four centuries, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the past. It transports us back to Germany in the 1930s when this remarkable piece was created. The print not only celebrates Queen Christina's reign but also serves as a testament to women breaking barriers throughout history. Her decision to abdicate after nearly three decades on the throne demonstrates her independence and determination. As we admire this striking image, let us remember Queen Christina's legacy as an influential sovereign who defied expectations and left an enduring impact on Swedish history.
