This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-167899-0000" captures a momentous occasion in history. The image showcases Princess Elena of Savoy, the esteemed godmother of the launch of the Saint-Bon ship in Venice, accompanied by her consort Vittorio Emanuele III. The year was 1877 when this remarkable event took place. The photograph depicts a scene filled with grandeur and significance. Princess Elena stands tall and elegant, exuding grace and poise befitting her noble status. Her regal presence is complemented by the dashing figure of Vittorio Emanuele III at her side. Intriguingly, this auspicious ceremony was blessed by none other than Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto, who would later ascend to become Pope Pius X. This detail adds an extra layer of historical importance to the image. The surrounding crowd can be seen in awe as they witness this royal inauguration unfold before their eyes. Their faces reflect admiration and respect for both Princess Elena and the majestic ship being christened. The Saint-Bon ship itself serves as a magnificent centerpiece within the frame—a symbol of power, progress, and maritime prowess. Its sleek design hints at its capability to conquer vast oceans while carrying passengers or cargo across great distances. This photograph encapsulates not only society's fascination with royalty but also highlights politics' intersection with such events. It offers us a glimpse into an era where associations between nobility and transportation were celebrated on official occasions like these. Authored by an unidentified artist from Alinari, this print preserves an extraordinary moment frozen in time—an enduring testament to history that continues to captivate viewers even today.
