EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the contrasting architectural landscape of Belgrade, Serbia, during the 1910s. At the heart of the image stands the humble Palace of King Alexander I, a testament to the region's rich history. Surrounded by modest hovels and quaint buildings, the palace appears almost out of place amidst the modern construction of the Hotel Moscow in the background. King Alexander I, who ruled Serbia from 1889 until his assassination in 1901, is known for his significant contributions to the country's modernization and unification efforts. This simple palace, which served as his official residence, is a reminder of a bygone era. The streets of Belgrade, bustling with activity, can be seen in the foreground, with soldiers and guards standing watchfully. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the city during this period, as well as the coexistence of the old and new. The Palace of King Alexander I, though meagre in comparison to the modern Hotel Moscow, holds immense historical significance. Its presence between the old and new structures serves as a reminder of the city's complex and layered history. This photograph offers a unique perspective into the past, inviting us to reflect on the evolution of Belgrade and its people.
