EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the regal presence of Constantine I, the last King of Greece from the Old Royal House of Greece, in the early 1920s. The image showcases Constantine, dressed in the grandeur of his royal attire, wearing an impressive knight's cross and multiple medals on his chest. His moustache adds an air of sophistication and authority to his already commanding appearance. The collar of the Order of the Redeemer, one of the highest Greek orders of chivalry, is prominently displayed, emphasizing his royal status. Constantine I, born in 1868, ascended the Greek throne twice in his life – first in 1913 and then again in 1920, following the political instability and the Balkan Wars. His reign was marked by attempts to modernize the Greek state and strengthen its position in the international arena. Despite his efforts, Constantine faced numerous challenges, including political unrest and economic hardships. Eventually, in 1922, he was forced to abdicate the throne following the defeat of the Greek army in the Greco-Turkish War. This photograph, taken around the time of his second reign, serves as a poignant reminder of the grandeur and complexity of the Greek monarchy during the tumultuous 1920s. The image not only captures the historical significance of Constantine I as a monarch but also the intricate details of the royal regalia, which were an essential part of his public persona.
