Koningin Wilhelmina leest een Nederlands verzetsblad in haar werkkamer in Londen 1945

This black and white photograph, taken by Anefo in 1945, captures Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands reading a Dutch resistance newspaper in her London workroom. The photo evokes the hardship and resilience of the Dutch people during World War II, as seen in the backdrop of barbed wire and rubble, symbolic of the destruction caused by the war. This image, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a poignant glimpse into the wartime struggles and the perseverance of the Dutch monarchy.
