EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative cover of The Tatler magazine, dated 1915, features a portrait of Queen Elisabeth of Belgium (1876-1965), then known as Elisabeth of Bavaria. Born as the daughter of Duke Charles Theodore in Munich, she married King Albert I of Belgium in 1900. As World War I engulfed Europe, Queen Elisabeth became a symbol of resistance and hope for the Belgian people during the German invasion of their country in 1914. Despite the danger, Queen Elisabeth refused to leave Brussels and instead chose to stay with her people, providing them with moral support and humanitarian aid. She established the "Queen Elisabeth Fund" to help the wounded and displaced, and her courage and determination became a source of inspiration for the Belgian resistance. This powerful image of Queen Elisabeth, dressed in a simple yet elegant white blouse and wearing a crown adorned with the Belgian royal diamonds, conveys her regal dignity and unwavering commitment to her country. The background of the cover, with its muted tones and somber mood, serves as a poignant reminder of the turbulent times in which she lived. As the First World War raged on, Queen Elisabeth's popularity continued to grow, both in Belgium and abroad. This cover of The Tatler is a testament to her enduring legacy as a symbol of resilience and strength in the face of adversity. The image captures a moment in history when a queen became a beacon of hope for her people, and serves as a powerful reminder of the indomitable human spirit.
