EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the assassination attempt on the King of Greece. In this 19th-century colour litho, we witness the dramatic scene unfold as gunmen target the king's carriage while he was returning from a leisurely trip to Phaleron beach with his daughter, Princess Maria of Greece and Denmark. The image showcases the sheer chaos and danger that enveloped this fateful event. The horse-drawn carriage races along a road in an attempt to escape from the assassins who relentlessly shoot at them. The tension is palpable as both father and daughter desperately seek refuge from harm. This historical incident sheds light on the vulnerability of even those in positions of power and royalty. It serves as a reminder that no one is exempt from acts of crime or violence, regardless of their status or title. The composition beautifully captures not only the intensity but also highlights elements such as Balkan scenery, transport modes like post chaise and pullman car, showcasing how travel played an essential role during this era. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand this shocking assassination attempt on King George I. It stands as a testament to resilience and survival amidst adversity for both royals and commoners alike.
