The image showcases a grand ceremonial scene filled with royalty, deputies, senators, and secretaries gathered in court to witness this historic event. The composition is rich with symbolism and detail. At the center stands King Alfonso XIII himself, dressed regally and surrounded by foreign princes and members of his royal family. To his right stands Queen Maria Christina, his mother, while on his left are Infanta Isabel and Infanta Maria Teresa. The atmosphere is one of solemnity and importance as everyone present witnesses this pivotal moment for Spain's monarchy. The Corps Diplomatique can be seen observing from their designated area while representatives from various European countries also attend. G. S. Amato expertly captures every intricate detail in this engraving that was originally published in The Illustrated London News on 24 May 1902. It serves as a testament to both historical accuracy and artistic skill. This print not only offers an insight into Spanish history but also provides viewers with a glimpse into European politics during that era.
