EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the early 20th century, witnessing a pivotal moment in Danish and Norwegian history. The central figure, Christian IX of Denmark, sits regally at a desk as he reads an important request from the Norwegian Storting. Surrounding him are his son Prince Charles, who stands to his left with an anxious expression on his face, and Princess Maud standing to his right with a look of anticipation. The atmosphere inside the grand castle is palpable as all eyes await Christian IX's response. In the foreground, we catch a glimpse of the President of the Storting engrossed in deep contemplation. The intricate interior design adds an air of sophistication to this historic setting. This snapshot captures a significant turning point for Norway - it is November 20th, 1905 - when they sought their independence from Sweden by offering their throne to Prince Charles. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, one cannot help but wonder about the weighty decision that rests upon Christian IX's shoulders. With its impeccable detail and composition reminiscent of classic illustrations from that era, this print transports us back in time while reminding us of the profound impact individuals can have on shaping nations' destinies.
