EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Queen Ena of Spain (1887-1969) is seen with her five children in the early 1920s. The image captures a moment of happiness and tranquility before the tumultuous events that were to unfold in Spanish history. From left to right, the children are Infanta Maria Christina, Alfonso, Prince of the Asturias, the Queen with her youngest son, Infante Gonzalo, Infante Jaime, Infante Juan, and Infanta Beatriz. Queen Ena, born Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, was the wife of King Alfonso XIII of Spain. She ascended to the throne in 1929, following her husband's abdication, and ruled until the establishment of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931. By this time, the royal family were forced into exile, fleeing the political upheaval that swept across Spain. The photograph was taken in the years preceding this period of turmoil. The image shows the Queen in a tender moment with her youngest son, Infante Gonzalo, while her other children playfully interact with each other. The family's happiness and unity are palpable, offering a stark contrast to the challenges that lay ahead. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the royal family's existence before the Spanish Republic. By 1931, the political climate had shifted dramatically, and the monarchy was no longer a viable institution. The image serves as an important document in Spanish history, capturing the essence of a family that was soon to be displaced by the will of the people. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of Spanish royal history or family portraits. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the Spanish royal family during a period of relative peace and stability, before the tumultuous events that were to follow.
