EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures King Peter I of Serbia in July 1914, a month before the outbreak of the First World War. Despite his worsening ill health, Peter (1844-1921) continued to fulfill his duties as monarch until he handed over executive control of Serbia's government to his second son, Alexander, in June 1914. Seated at a majestic desk adorned with regal furniture, King Peter is seen engrossed in work, writing diligently with a ruler by his side. The photograph exudes an air of somberness and determination as it symbolizes the impending challenges that lie ahead for both the king and his nation. Little did he know that just over a year later, in late 1915, he would be forced into exile as Serbia faced defeat at the hands of Germany, Austria, and Bulgaria. King Peter I was known for his strong leadership during turbulent times. His reign marked significant political changes in Yugoslavia and left an indelible mark on Serbian history. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of not only the man himself but also the immense weight placed upon him during this critical period. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to an era when kings ruled nations amidst global conflict. The monochrome tones add depth and gravitas to this historical moment captured by an unknown creator. It stands as a testament to King Peter I's resilience and dedication to serving his people even amid personal struggles and international turmoil.
