EDITORS COMMENTS
The King of Italy, Victor Emmanuel III (1869-1947), photographed in the 1910s. This portrait captures the essence of a monarch who reigned over Italy for nearly 46 years, witnessing both world wars and the rise and fall of Italian Fascism. After ascending to the throne following the assassination of his father, Umberto I, in 1900, Victor Emmanuel III led his country through tumultuous times. The Kingdom of Italy found itself embroiled in two devastating global conflicts during his reign. This print showcases the king's dignified presence as he dons an impressive military uniform adorned with numerous medals and epaulettes. His regal face is framed by a distinguished moustache that adds to his commanding aura. The photograph was featured in 'The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects', Volume V, authored by W. Stanley Macbean Knight and published by Caxton Publishing Company Limited in London in 1919. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder not only of Victor Emmanuel III's significant role as a sovereign but also as a witness to one of history's most turbulent periods. It encapsulates an era when nations were tested on multiple fronts - politically, socially, and militarily. This print from Heritage Images offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary time when kings shaped destinies amidst chaos.
