EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative music cover from the First World War era pays tribute to the unity of the Allied powers through the depiction of their national anthems and the portraits of their monarchs. The cover, titled "National Anthems of the United Allies: Britain, France, Russia, and Belgium," was published in 1914, a year marked by the outbreak of the Great War. The central image on the cover features the emblems of each country, surrounded by musical notes and the opening bars of their respective anthems. At the top, the portraits of four monarchs gaze down, symbolizing their unwavering support for their nations and their alliance. King George V of Britain, President Poincare of France, Tsar Nikolai II of Russia, and King Albert I of Belgium are depicted in formal attire, exuding an air of regal authority and determination. The use of rich colors and intricate detailing adds to the cover's historical significance and artistic merit. The cover serves as a poignant reminder of the unity and resilience of the Allied powers during a time of great turmoil and upheaval. This unique piece of wartime ephemera offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the powerful symbolism of music and royalty during the First World War.
