Framed Print of Alfonso XII. King of Spain, in the uniform of the 15th Schleswig-Holstein Uhlans, 1883. Creator: Unknown
Alfonso XII. King of Spain, in the uniform of the 15th Schleswig-Holstein Uhlans, 1883. The customary etiquette of Continental Royalty has long prescribed the acceptance, by Kings and Princes, of military rank in the Armies of foreign Sovereigns, offered simply as a personal compliment, and without any idea of a political alliance in view of the possibilities of future war. It was, of course, only in this manner that Alfonso XII. of Spain...received the nominal commission of a Colonel of Uhlans or light cavalry. Our Illustration shows his Majesty wearing this uniform; but we believe that there could not be the least intention of giving offence or alarm to the French...The perverse ingenuity of certain reckless and mischievous writers in the Press of Paris immediately set to work upon this trivial occasion, and persuaded many ignorant people that it was a patent token of an intended hostile league between Germany and Spain to overawe France with the menace of a combined attack...The influence of such distorted apprehensions must be allowed to have mainly contributed to that disgraceful outrage, the hissing and hooting of the King of Spain in the streets of Paris, which is sincerely deplored by all respectable Frenchmen of every party'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
