EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print from 1902 showcases Alfonso XIII of Spain, who officially came of age at the tender age of 16. Standing proudly beside his mother, he is introduced by the Pope to a group of prospective brides. Little did anyone know that four years later, in 1906, Alfonso would marry Victoria Eugenie of Battenburg. The image captures a significant moment in history as it portrays the young king-to-be being presented with potential matches for marriage. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this historical scene to life, allowing us to glimpse into the past and witness an important event in Spanish royalty. Alfonso XIII's reign was marked by political turmoil and social unrest but also witnessed modernization efforts within Spain. His marriage to Victoria Eugenie brought together two prominent European families and solidified alliances between nations. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both artistry and historical significance. Preserved over time, it offers us a window into the world of early 20th-century New York where this piece was created. As we admire this chromolithograph today, we can appreciate its beauty while reflecting on the intriguing story behind it – one that encompasses love, politics, tradition, and royal lineage.
