Alphonse XIII, the King of Spain, was a prominent figure in the early 20th century. In this collection of photographs and engravings, we catch glimpses of his life and interactions with influential individuals. The first image takes us to Notre-Dame, where Alphonse XIII stands solemnly against the backdrop of this iconic cathedral. The black and white photo adds an air of nostalgia to this historic moment. In the next colored photograph, we see Alphonse XIII adorned in regal attire as he assumes his role as King of Spain. His dignified presence reflects the weighty responsibilities he carried during his reign. Moving back in time to 1886, a black and white photo captures a young Alphonse XIII assuming his position as King at an early age. This image serves as a reminder that even from youth, he was destined for greatness. Amongst these images are also portraits of notable lawyers and politicians who played significant roles during Alphonse's era. Angel Urzaiz and Cuesta, Vicente Santamaria de Paredes, Alvaro Figueroa y Torres (Count of Romanones), Antonio Garcia and Alix - all esteemed figures who contributed to shaping Spanish society alongside their monarch. An engraving depicts one such contribution when Alphonse XIII visited a factory in Malaga in 1904. This act demonstrates his dedication towards understanding various industries within his kingdom. Another captivating moment captured is when General Primo de Rivera stood beside King Alphonse XIII on the day they established something significant - perhaps referring to political reforms or agreements that shaped Spain's future. Joaquin Salvatella Gisbert appears among these personalities; another lawyer turned politician whose influence extended beyond Barcelona into Madrid's political landscape. Felipe Rodes Baldrich also makes an appearance – hailing from Hospitalet de Llobregat – showcasing regional diversity within Spanish politics.
