EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Alfonso XIII, King of Spain in 1910. Created by Joseph Simpson, this portrait showcases the distinguished features and commanding aura of the monarch. Born as the posthumous son of Alfonso XII, Alfonso XIII ascended to the throne immediately upon his birth. However, it was Queen Maria Christina who ruled as regent until he came of age at 16. Alfonso XIII's reign spanned from 1902 to 1931 when a republic was favored by an overwhelming vote in elections. Refusing to abdicate, he made the difficult decision to leave his country and spent his remaining years in exile in Rome until his passing in 1941. The image reveals a man who held immense power and authority during a pivotal period for Spain. His gaze exudes confidence and determination while also hinting at the weighty responsibilities that rested on his shoulders. Published originally in "The Strand Magazine" an illustrated monthly publication, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history through its rich colors and attention to detail. It serves as a testament to both Joseph Simpson's skill as a photographer and Alfonso XIII's significance as a sovereign ruler. As we admire this remarkable portrait today, we are reminded of the complex political landscape that shaped Spain during this era and how individuals like Alfonso XIII played crucial roles within it.
