EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the shocking moment of an anarchist attack on King Alfonso XIII of Spain on rue de Rivoli in Paris. The engraving from 'Le petit journal' dated June 11, 1905, immortalizes the chaotic scene where the young king narrowly escaped a bomb explosion.
The image is filled with tension and drama as chaos unfolds on the streets of Paris. The artist has skillfully depicted the fear and confusion that gripped the crowd as they witnessed this brazen attempt on royalty. King Alfonso XIII, known for his controversial reign in Spain, appears vulnerable yet defiant in the face of danger.
The historical significance of this event is palpable in every detail captured by Stefano Bianchetti's expert eye. The engraving serves as a reminder of the turbulent times of early 20th-century Europe, marked by political unrest and anarchist movements.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when assassination attempts were not uncommon among European monarchs. It stands as a testament to both the resilience of King Alfonso XIII and the volatile nature of politics during that era.
Stefano Bianchetti's meticulous attention to detail brings this momentous event to life once again, allowing us to reflect on its impact on history and society at large.
