 : King Alfonso photographed talking to a woman


King Alfonso photographed talking to a woman

Who Would Be King? Photograph of King Alfonso XIII of Spain, captured by snapshotters during a trip to San Sebastien, talking to an unidentified young woman. The Bystander captions the picture with quiet outrage saying, Our sympathies to his majesty, King Alfonso. He cannot even converse with a pretty woman without being surrounded by snapshotters. This lurid example was itself snapshotted, to our profound regret, during the King's recent visit to San Sebastien. They still printed the picture though
