EDITORS COMMENTS
In this beautiful photograph, King Alfonso XIII of Spain is captured in a tender moment with his second son, Infante Jaime, during the christening of their newborn daughter at the Royal Palace of La Granja in 1909. Dressed in full military uniform, the regal father gazes lovingly at his young son, who rests his hand on his father's knee. The serene expression on both their faces conveys a deep bond between them, as they share a private moment amidst the grandeur and formalities of the royal ceremony. King Alfonso XIII, who reigned from 1886 to 1931, was known for his love of military traditions and often appeared in public dressed in his uniform. The Royal Palace of La Granja, located in the province of Segovia, was a favorite residence of the Spanish monarchy, famous for its beautiful gardens and stunning views of the Guadarrama mountains. The christening of the new princess, whose name is not mentioned in the photograph, marked a joyous occasion for the royal family. The image of the king and his second son, however, stands out as a poignant reminder of the intimate and personal moments that unfolded behind the grand public spectacles of royal life. This photograph, with its timeless composition and evocative atmosphere, offers a glimpse into the history and humanity of Spain's royal past.
