EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photographic montage postcard commemorates the centenary of the Quatre Glorieuses, the four pivotal days of revolution in 1830 that overthrew the Dutch Protestant domination and laid the foundation for Belgian independence and the Belgian state and constitution. The image centers around the iconic Congress Column in Brussels, Belgium, with the historic Place du Congrès and the illuminated statue of King Leopold I in the background. The Congress Column, an architectural masterpiece, stands tall against the night sky, its intricate shape accentuated by the tramlines and wires crisscrossing the scene. The King, dressed in royal regalia, gazes out over the city, symbolizing the new era of Belgian rule. The montage, created in 1930, beautifully captures the historical significance of this momentous occasion, with the lighting and illumination adding to the sense of celebration and commemoration. The Quatre Glorieuses marked a turning point in Belgian history, and this postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the events that shaped the nation's past and continue to influence its present.
