Queen Wilhelmina - fabric for hanging on the wall
KONINGIN WILHELMINA - Queen Wilhelmina - a large fabric for hanging on the wall. Netherlands, early 20th century.
On the map is a picture of the queen with the royal crown on her head, surrounded by decorations in the shape of leaves and flowers in shades of black and dark orange, and the inscription "KONINGIN WILHELMINA". Extremely rare.
Queen Wilhelmina (Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Marie; 1880-1962) was the Queen of the Netherlands from 1890 to 1948. She reigned in the Netherlands for fifty-eight years, longer than any other Dutch monarch. During her reign, the Netherlands was involved in World War I, experienced the Nazi occupation during World War II, and saw its power as a global colonial empire decline. During the war years, the queen fled to Britain, led the exiled Dutch government, and served as a source of encouragement and inspiration for the Dutch resistance fighters.
70x61 cm. Fringes of threads on the lower edges. Overall condition is very good.
