EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Alfonso Carlos I de Borbón y Austria-Este: The Carlist Pretender to the Spanish Throne in Military Dress of the Pontifical Zouaves" This portrait showcases Alfonso Carlos I de Borbón y Austria-Este (1849-1936), the Carlist pretender to the Spanish throne, dressed in the military attire of the Pontifical Zouaves. The photograph was taken during his time in La Rioja, Spain. Alfonso Carlos I, a member of the House of Bourbon and Austria-Este, was a significant figure in the Carlist conflict, a series of wars in Spain that arose from the contention between the liberal and traditionalist factions over the succession to the Spanish throne. The Carlist side, led by Carlos, sought to uphold the traditionalist cause and maintain the absolutist monarchy. In this image, Alfonso Carlos I wears the distinctive uniform of the Pontifical Zouaves, an elite infantry regiment of the Papal Army, which was a crucial military force during the Carlist Wars. The uniform, characterized by its bright red fez and red and blue stripes, symbolizes his connection to the Catholic Church and his commitment to the Carlist cause. The photograph was taken in daylight, outside, capturing the vibrant colors and details of the uniform and Alfonso Carlos I's determined expression. The upright, vertical composition emphasizes the importance and gravity of the subject matter, making this portrait a striking representation of the Carlist pretender and the political turmoil in Spain during the late 19th century. This photograph is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the life and legacy of Alfonso Carlos I de Borbón y Austria-Este and the Carlist movement in Spain.
