EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a tender moment in the history of the Spanish Royal Family, featuring Queen Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, the Consort of Spain (1887-1969), with her two young sons, Alfonso, Prince of Asturias (1907-1938), and Infante Jaime, Duke of Segovia, Duke of Anjou (1908-1975). The image, dated 1908, shows the Queen in elegant attire, sitting in a carriage with Alfonso in a pram, while she lovingly holds Jaime in her arms. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that the photograph has undergone extensive retouching. The young Infante Jaime's face appears to have been transposed from another image, and his clothing has been extensively drawn-in to create a more visually appealing appearance. This common practice during the early 20th century was used to enhance the aesthetic value of the photograph and mask imperfections. Despite the manipulation, the photograph remains an intriguing glimpse into the personal lives of the Spanish royals, showcasing the bond between the Queen and her two young sons. The image also highlights the opulence and grandeur of the royal family during this era, with the elegant carriage and the intricate details of the Queen's attire adding to the overall allure of the photograph.
