About this piece
Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Hendrik during their 1905 state visit to Friesland, photographed by J.H. Slaterus in Leeuwarden. On this occasion Wilhelmina deliberately wore formal old-Frisian dress — including the gold “oorijzer” head ornament, the lace cap and the apron she had already worn during her first visit to Friesland in 1892 — as a tribute to Frisian tradition. Prince Hendrik wears his naval uniform with decorations.
