The white marble base (small accidents) and the inscription "LE ROI A SA PLACE DANS / TOUS LES COEURS FRANÇAIS / TANT QU'IL Y AURA UNE FRANCE / ELLE APPRENDRA A SES ENFANTS / A L'HONORER ET A L'AIMER". Height : 37 cm - Width : 20 cm - Depth : 10.5 cm Related literature: -" Discourses prononcés au Dîner annuel de la revue", in Revue des Deux Mondes, huitième période, vol. 18, n°4, December 15, 1933, pp. 1-8. In February 1935, the City of Paris organized a competition for the erection of a memorial to the former King of the Belgians, Albert I, in gratitude for his role in the First World War. A year later, the committee convened by Marshal Lyautey chose the project by sculptor Armand Martial, who had won the Grand Prix de Rome in 1913. The equestrian monument was inaugurated on October 12, 1938 in the Cours la Reine. Although our bronze statuette reproduces the composition of the monument, with the marble base and the attitude of the horse, the king is not depicted in military costume. Our work could be the project of one of the competition's participants, including Maurice Prost (terracotta project preserved at the Musée Robert Dubois-Corneau in Brunoy, inv. 2008.0.184.S). The quotation engraved on the front of the base appears in the speech given at the Revue des Deux Mondes annual dinner in December 1933 by René Doumic, the magazine's director, with King Albert I as guest of honor.
