EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous illustration captures the playful side of Alfonso XIII, the former king of Spain. Created for the satirical magazine Le Rire in 1904, this colour lithograph showcases a comical scene set in a café or restaurant. The French School artist known as "Gose" skillfully depicts Alfonso XIII dressed as a driver, engaging in some lighthearted banter with women. The cartoon-like style adds to the amusement factor of this artwork, with exaggerated features and witty wordplay scattered throughout. The caricatured figures and their animated expressions bring life to the scene, making it impossible not to smile at their antics. In this social setting, we see Alfonso XIII using his charm and wit to flirt with waitresses while enjoying a momentary break from his royal duties. This light-hearted portrayal offers a glimpse into an era where kings could indulge in such casual encounters without consequence. With its blend of satire and humor, this illustration reflects both French and Spanish culture during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power can find joy in simple pleasures like chatting up waitresses or engaging in friendly banter. Overall, this delightful print is an amusing snapshot from history that continues to entertain viewers today with its clever depiction of Alfonso XIII's playful personality.
