EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a solemn moment in history - the announcement of the death of the Duchess of Albany, Princess Helena. The Duchess tragically passed away during her visit to her son, the Duke of Saxe Coburg, in Innsbruck on 2 September 1922. In this poignant image, we see Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who was not only the grieving son but also the fourth and final reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. His expression reflects both sorrow and strength as he bears this immense loss. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph from Central News' archives. It transports us back to the 1920s when Europe was undergoing significant changes after World War I. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that even those born into royalty are not immune to tragedy or mortality. This portrait encapsulates an era marked by both personal grief and societal transformation. Through TopFoto's preservation efforts, we can now witness historical moments like these with clarity and reverence. This particular image is part of Europeana Photography collection that showcases important events from across Europe during the early 20th century
