EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the determined and resolute gaze of Prince Alexander I of Serbia, later to become King Alexander I of Yugoslavia, during the First World War. The image, titled "Le Prince Alexandre de Serbie" was created by renowned French photographer Vladimir Betzitch in 1916 and was published in the prestigious French magazine "L'Illustration" in 1924 as part of their album documenting the war years. Alexander Karadordevic, known as Alexander the Unifier, is depicted here in a head and shoulders shot, dressed in military uniform, with a serious expression that speaks of the heavy burden of leadership and the challenges of unifying the diverse peoples of Serbia, Croats, and Slovenes into a single nation. The backdrop of the First World War adds a sense of urgency and gravity to the portrait, as Alexander led his country through the trials and tribulations of the war, ultimately emerging as the first King of Yugoslavia in 1921. The print, a testament to the historical significance of this pivotal figure, is a valuable addition to any collection of 20th-century history or royalty. Vladimir Betzitch, a skilled photographer, expertly captures the essence of this complex and influential man, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the indelible mark Alexander I left on the history of the Balkans.
