EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for King Alexander I of Serbia and Queen Draga at the picturesque Bay of Kotor in Montenegro, circa 1900. The royal couple, dressed in their finest regalia, bid farewell to the adoring crowd that had gathered to witness their passage. King Alexander I, a member of the Obrenovic Dynasty, was a beloved figure in Serbia, known for his charisma and commitment to modernizing the country. However, this idyllic scene would be marred by tragedy as the King and Queen were assassinated in Belgrade just two years later, in 1903. The image of the King's departure from Kotor thus takes on an added poignancy, as we are reminded of the brief and fragile nature of royal power and the passage of time. The onlookers in the crowd, with their hopeful and expectant expressions, seem to embody the complex emotions that accompany the spectacle of royalty - admiration, anticipation, and ultimately, loss. The serene beauty of the Bay of Kotor, with its towering cliffs and crystal-clear waters, serves as a striking backdrop to this poignant moment in Serbian history.
