Entourage Exile Montenegro Nicholas Nikola Petrovic Njegos
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment when King Nicholas I of Montenegro (Nikola I Petrović-Njegoš, 1841-1921) and his entourage bid farewell to their homeland, beginning their exile in France in 1918. The image, taken circa 1918, depicts the monarch, resplendent in military uniform, standing at the edge of a dock or quay, surrounded by a group of officers and dignitaries. Their faces are etched with a mixture of sadness, determination, and resolve. King Nicholas I, a revered figure in Montenegrin history, had ruled his country for over 30 years, leading it through numerous wars and struggles for independence. However, the political turmoil of the First World War and the eventual defeat of the Central Powers forced him into exile, marking the end of the Montenegrin monarchy. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the indomitable spirit of a leader and his people in the face of adversity.
