Commentary


Dimensions : 69*71,5 mm
Le phénomène des expositions universelles a connu une longue genèse, mais apparaît officiellement en 1851 à Londres avec la Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations. Celle-ci fut la première d’une longue série qui se développa jusqu’à la Première Guerre mondiale et devint ensuite une formule de réussite internationale. Avant 1913, Anvers, Bruxelles et Liège avaient déjà pris le rôle de ville hôte. Du 26 avril au 3 novembre ce fut au tour de la ville de Gand d’accueillir le monde..

Historical background


BELGIUM - KINGDOM OF BELGIUM - ALBERT I

(17/12/1909-17/12/1934)

Albert I (8/04/1875-17/02/1934) succeeded his uncle Leopold II in 1909. He had married Elisabeth of Bavaria in 1900 (1876-1965). During the First World War, he commanded the Belgian army and shared the fate of the soldiers, which earned him the title of "knight king". The Treaty of Versailles in 1919 gave him the territories of Eupen and Malmédy. He died in a climbing accident in Marche-les-Dames. His son Leopold III succeeded him.
