EDITORS COMMENTS
Celebrating Eighty Glorious Years of Belgian Independence: A Patriotic Postcard from 1911 This evocative postcard, created in 1911, marks the 80th anniversary of Belgium's independence from the Netherlands in 1831. The image is a testament to the patriotic fervor and national pride that swept through the young Belgian nation during this time. At the center of the postcard, a personification of Belgium, depicted as a regal woman, holds aloft the Belgian Constitution, symbolizing the rule of law and the foundation of the Belgian state. Surrounding her are various historical figures, including King Leopold I, the monarch who led Belgium to independence, and his successors, King Albert I and King Leopold II. The postcard also highlights the technological advances that had taken place during the first eighty years of Belgian independence. A steam train and a cannon are featured prominently, representing the country's progress in transportation and military might. Heraldic symbols, including coats of arms and shields, are also present in the postcard, reflecting the rich history and heritage of the Belgian people. The lion, a common symbol of Belgian identity, can be seen throughout the design. This postcard is a poignant reminder of the history and traditions that have shaped the Belgian nation, and the enduring spirit of patriotism that continues to unite its people.
