EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time, as Ferdinand I, the revered King of Bulgaria from 1887 until his abdication in 1918, is seen here with his beloved second wife, Queen Eleonore Reuss of Kitzingen and their two daughters, Princesses Eudoxie and Nadejda. The image, taken in 1912, showcases the regal family in an intimate setting, with the King affectionately placing his hand on his wife's shoulder, while his daughters, Eudoxie (b. 1892) and Nadejda (b. 1899), gaze intently at their parents. Ferdinand I, also known as "Foxy" due to his cunning political maneuvers, was a significant figure in Bulgarian history. He ascended to the throne at the young age of 22 and led his country through numerous challenges, including the Russo-Turkish War and the Balkan Wars. His second marriage to Eleonore, the daughter of Prince Heinrich XXII Reuss of Kostritz, was a love match that brought joy and stability to his later years. Eleonore, a gracious and intelligent woman, was an influential figure in her own right. She was known for her charitable work and her dedication to the arts. The couple's two daughters, Eudoxie and Nadejda, were raised in the royal court and went on to marry princes from other European royal families. This photograph offers a glimpse into the personal lives of this royal family, revealing the warmth and love that existed between them despite the weight of their royal duties. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between Ferdinand I and his family, and serves as a reminder of the human side of history's most prominent figures.
