Courage Civique; M Adolphe Max, Bourgmestre de Bruxelles, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a striking photograph that captures the defiant spirit of Adolphe Eugène Jean Henri Max, the mayor of Brussels during World War I. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, shows Max dressed in a simple suit and tie, his gaze steady and resolute. He is seated in front of a plain background, his hands resting on a table, and a Belgian flag can be seen in the background. The title "Courage Civique" translates to "Civic Courage," a fitting description for Max, who refused to give in to the German occupation of Brussels and continued to serve his people despite the risks. Max was arrested by the Germans in August 1914 and imprisoned for several months before being released in December of that year. Despite the danger, Max remained committed to upholding the law and protecting the people of Brussels. He continued to work behind the scenes to resist the German occupation and support the Allied war effort. The photograph captures the courage and determination of Max, who became a symbol of resistance during the dark days of the First World War. The apparel Max wears in the photograph is simple and understated, reflecting the austere times. The use of black and white adds to the somber mood of the image, highlighting the stark contrast between the defiance of Max and the occupation of his city by the Germans. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the bravery and resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The photographer of this image is unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue of the photograph. It is a testament to the enduring power of a single image to capture a moment in history and inspire generations to come. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, particularly those related to the First World War and the history of Belgium.
