Leopold II, King of the Belgians (1835-1909): A Regal Portrait in Military Uniform This carte-de-visite (CDV) photograph captures Leopold II, King of the Belgians, in a regal and resplendent military uniform. The image, taken in 1909, showcases Leopold II in the prime of his later years, exuding an air of authority and confidence. Leopold II, born on December 9, 1835, ascended to the Belgian throne in 1865 following the abdication of his father, Leopold I. His reign, which lasted for over forty years, was marked by significant political and colonial expansion. Leopold II is most notably known for his role in the Congo Free State, a personal Belgian colony in Central Africa, which he ruled from 1885 until its formal annexation by the Belgian state in 1908. In this photograph, Leopold II is depicted wearing the uniform of a Belgian Army general, complete with a sash, epaulettes, and a star on his chest, symbolizing his military rank. The king's stern gaze and the meticulously arranged uniform elements convey a sense of duty, power, and tradition. The photograph serves as a testament to Leopold II's military prowess and his commitment to the Belgian armed forces. The historical significance of this image extends beyond the personal realm, as it offers a glimpse into the political climate and the visual culture of the late 19th century. The photograph's intricate details, such as the king's uniform and the ornate background, underscore the grandeur and opulence of the era. This CDV is an essential addition to any collection focusing on Belgian history, European monarchs, or military uniforms.
