EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A Souvenir of the Great War," serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of Belgium during the tumultuous period of the First World War. At the center of the artwork, a facsimile of the document signed in 1830 is displayed, marking the establishment of the Belgian State and the guaranteeing of its neutrality. Surrounding this historical artifact are the portraits of Allied political leaders, military commanders, and naval commanders who played crucial roles during the war. The First World War, also known as WWI or World War I, broke out in 1914, and Belgium was one of the first countries to be invaded by the German army. Despite being a neutral nation, Belgium was subjected to a brutal occupation, which lasted until the end of the war in 1918. The document in the center of this print underscores the importance of Belgium's neutrality and the international efforts to uphold it. The political leaders depicted in the print include figures like British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau, and U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. Military commanders such as Field Marshal Douglas Haig, General John J. Pershing, and General Ferdinand Foch are also featured, along with notable naval commanders like Admiral John Jellicoe and Admiral David Beatty. This commemorative art piece is a testament to the historical importance of the Great War and the role Belgium played in shaping the course of international relations. The topographical background adds depth and intrigue to the artwork, making it a captivating addition to any history or art enthusiast's collection.
