EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and history of Bucharest, Romania's capital city, circa 1900. At the heart of the image stands the Royal Palace, now the National Museum of Art of Romania (top center). Built between 1812 and 1822, the palace served as the primary residence of the Romanian monarchs until the late 19th century. King Carol I, who reigned from 1866 to 1914, played a significant role in modernizing Romania and expanding its borders. Below left, the Central University Library of Bucharest (bottom left) can be seen. Founded in 1895 as the King Carol I Library of the University Foundation, it is one of the oldest and most prestigious libraries in Romania. The library's establishment marked a crucial step in the development of higher education in the country. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of soldiers and troops marching in the foreground. This military display could be related to a royal visit or a parade, reflecting the strong connection between the monarchy and the military during this period. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into Romania's past, showcasing its rich history, architectural heritage, and the role of the monarchy in shaping the nation's future.
