Romanians, a proud and resilient people with a rich history that stretches back centuries. From the infamous Vlad the Impaler, known as Prince of Wallachia from 1431 to 1476, who left an indelible mark on Romanian folklore and inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula, to Grigore I Ghica (Ghika), a visionary leader who ruled Wallachia in the 17th century. The breathtaking view of Sinaia, captured in a photochrome around 1900, showcases the natural beauty of Romania's Prahova Valley. This enchanting town nestled in the district is a testament to Romania's picturesque landscapes. Elisabeth de Wied graces our thoughts with her black and white photograph. A beloved queen consort of Romania during the late 19th century, she was known for her intelligence and poetry. King Ferdinand I and Queen Marie of Romania stand tall in their vibrant lithograph portrait. Their reign during World War I saw them leading their nation through tumultuous times while striving for independence and progress. In another lithograph from this era, we witness Austrian soldiers surrendering their weapons at the Romanian border after defeat by Russian forces in the Brusilov Offensive. It symbolizes Romania's bravery and commitment to justice amidst global conflict. The Castle of Vilagos depicted in watercolor transports us back to 1873 when its grandeur dominated Transylvania's landscape—a reminder of Romania's architectural wonders that continue to captivate visitors today. Louis VII battling at Mount Kadmus reminds us that they have not only shaped their own destiny but also played significant roles beyond their borders. The Crusades strategically influenced Europe’s history under brave leaders like Louis VII. Transylvania reveals itself once more through an exquisite watercolor painting capturing one of its many castles. These fortresses hold stories within their walls—tales filled with legends and mysteries that have fascinated generations worldwide.
