EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable lineage of Swedish monarchs, spanning five generations. Captured in 1904 by an anonymous Swedish School artist, this colour lithograph provides a glimpse into the rich history and legacy of the royal family. The image features prominent figures such as King Oscar II, who reigned from 1859 to 1872, and his successor King Gustav V, ruling from 1907 to 1950. The composition is beautifully arranged with King Bernadotte on horseback at the forefront, symbolizing his reign from 1907 to 1950. A bust of Oscar I can be seen in the background, paying homage to his influential rule during the mid-19th century. This photograph not only captures their physical appearances but also offers insight into their individual personalities and contributions. Displayed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this stunning piece represents more than just a portrait; it embodies Sweden's enduring monarchy and its significant role within Scandinavian history. Each king depicted holds a unique place within the Bernadotte dynasty that has shaped Sweden for centuries. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the strength and continuity that comes with five generations of rulership. It serves as a testament to both tradition and progress while honoring those who have dedicated themselves to leading their nation forward throughout time.
