Alexander Cape Glasses Plume Regal Regalia Ruler Serbia Yugoslavia
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the regal presence of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia (1888-1934), who ruled as both Crown Prince of Serbia and King of Yugoslavia. The image showcases the monarch in a formal setting, adorned in his full regalia, including a golden crown adorned with precious gems, a grand cape, and a plume atop his military hat. King Alexander's piercing gaze is accentuated by the use of glasses, adding an intriguing element to the portrait. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the pivotal role King Alexander played in the political landscape of the Balkans during the early 20th century. He ascended to the throne of Serbia in 1921 following the assassination of his father, King Peter I. In 1929, he reorganized the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, unifying the various ethnic groups under his rule. Despite his efforts to promote unity, King Alexander faced numerous challenges, including political instability and ethnic tensions. Tragically, his reign came to an end in 1934 when he was assassinated in Marseille, France, during a state visit. This evocative studio portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a complex and influential figure in European history. The combination of the king's regal attire, piercing gaze, and the historical context in which he ruled, make this photograph a captivating addition to any collection of historical images or royal memorabilia.
