EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in European history - the first coronation of the 20th century. On September 19,1904, King Peter Karageorgevic of Serbia was crowned in a magnificent Serbian Orthodox ceremony at the Cathedral of the Host of Holy Archangels in Belgrade. The newly installed king, who had become a widower by then, stood alone as he received his crown. In this particular snapshot from that historic day, we witness King Peter Karageorgevic riding through the streets of Belgrade on horseback. Dressed in an elegant military uniform adorned with medals and decorations, he exudes regality and power. His polished boots gleam under the sunlight as they rest firmly in stirrups while his sword hangs gracefully by his side. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement as crowds line up along the streets to catch a glimpse of their new monarch. The people's admiration for their king is palpable; flags wave proudly above them while cheers echo through every corner. This image not only showcases Eastern European customs and traditions but also symbolizes resilience and national pride during a time when Serbia was striving for independence and recognition on an international stage. Preserved within this photograph lies a testament to Serbia's rich history and its royal family's enduring legacy.
