EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Les Exiles; La reine Milena, accompagnee de son fils cadet et de ses deux filles" (The Exiles: Queen Milena with her Younger Son and Two Daughters), was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The creator of the image remains unknown. The photograph captures a poignant moment in the lives of the Montenegrin Royal Family during their exile in France during the First World War. Queen Milena, also known as Princess Milena Vukotic, is depicted in the photograph with her younger son, Prince Peter, and her two daughters, Princesses Vjera and Xenia. Milena, dressed in a simple yet elegant black dress, tenderly holds her youngest child, while her eldest daughter, Vjera, stands beside her, her hand on her mother's shoulder. The youngest prince, Peter, stands behind his mother, looking introspective. The Montenegrin Royal Family was forced into exile in 1916 when Montenegro was invaded by the Central Powers. They sought refuge in France, where they spent the remainder of the war. The photograph captures the essence of the family's resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between a mother and her children, as well as the strength and grace of the Montenegrin Royal Family during a time of great upheaval. The photograph's timeless quality and the hauntingly beautiful expression on Milena's face make it a poignant reminder of the human cost of war.
