    Spanish Prince Alfonso: A Glimpse of Royalty (1913)

    $19.95

    This historical photograph captures S.K.H. Don Alfonso von Orleans-Bourbon, known as a Spanish Prince, in a moment from October 22, 1913. Alfonso was a member of the House of Bourbon, a royal family that has played a significant role in the history of Spain and Europe. Born in 1907, he was the son of Prince Pedro of Bourbon and the Princess of Borbón, and his lineage connects to both Spanish and French nobility. At the time this photograph was taken, Europe was on the cusp of monumental changes that would reshape the continent, with World War I just a year away.

    Taken by the Bain News Service, this glass negative photograph was part of an early wave of media documenting the lives and people of European royalty. The era was characterized by a fascination with the lives of the wealthy and powerful, and photography became a vital medium for capturing and disseminating these images to the public. Don Alfonsos presence in this photograph reflects the interest in the aristocracy of the time and offers a glimpse into a world that was both opulent and increasingly fraught with political tension.

    The image is a reminder of the Princes life, cut short by tragedy when he died in a hunting accident in 1934 at the young age of 26. While the photograph may serve as an artistic representation, it also provides a historical snapshot of a specific moment in European royal history and the changing dynamics of monarchy that were unfolding during the early 20th century.
