EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the floods in Spain during the early 20th century. King Alfonso XIII, the ruler of Spain from 1886 to 1941, is seen visiting the haunting suburbs of Seville amidst this natural disaster. The image was originally published as an engraving in "Le Petite Journal" on February 25,1912. The scene depicted here showcases the resilience and determination of both the Spanish people and their monarch during a time of great adversity. Despite the sinister atmosphere created by floodwaters engulfing homes and streets, King Alfonso XIII fearlessly ventures into these affected areas to witness firsthand the devastation faced by his subjects. The composition itself is strikingly vivid, with Stefano Bianchetti's use of color adding depth and emotion to this historical snapshot. The somber tones reflect not only the physical destruction caused by flooding but also evoke a sense of empathy for those impacted. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph serves as a reminder of Spain's past struggles while highlighting its ability to overcome challenges under strong leadership. It stands as a testament to King Alfonso XIII's commitment to his people and his willingness to confront difficult situations head-on. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, let us remember that even in times of darkness, there is always hope for brighter days ahead.
