Baptism of Prince Albert. Monaco 1958.
A high-angle photograph captures the baptism of Prince Albert in Monaco, 1958. The infant prince lies looking upwards, held by a woman in a decorative headband and fur stole. A man in a dark, formal uniform with epaulets stands nearby. At the center, a bald clergyman in ornate vestments bends over the child as another official, holding a small bowl, raises his arm in a ritualistic gesture. The dark, indistinct background draws all focus to the solemn gathering, surrounded by participants and acolytes in white garments.
