EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print, we witness a momentous gathering of royalty at the renowned French races in Deauville. The year is 1922, and two prominent figures stand out amongst the visitors - King Alfonso XIII of Spain and the Shah of Persia. In this particular snapshot, our attention is drawn to King Alfonso as he confidently strides through the paddock area. Dressed impeccably in his regal attire, he exudes an air of elegance and authority that befits his royal status. His presence alone commands attention from all those around him. The photograph not only serves as a visual record of this historic event but also provides us with a glimpse into the glamorous world of European high society during the early 20th century. It captures a time when horse racing was not merely a sport but also served as a social occasion for aristocrats and dignitaries to come together. Preserved by Central News, this monochrome image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine ourselves amidst the excitement and grandeur that surrounded these prestigious races. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but marvel at how such simple moments frozen in time continue to hold immense cultural significance even after almost a century has passed.
