Summary

"The Princess Aline" by Richard Harding Davis is the tale of Morton Carlton, a New York City portrait painter whose life is upended by a photograph of Princess Aline of Hohenwald, sparking an adventurous pursuit of a woman that's more of an ideal. At the start, Carlton grapples with his whimsical nature, his privileged life, and a sincere desire for love that stretches beyond society's norms. His journey to Europe is fueled by his own reflections on women and love, all the while intensifying his focus on the mysterious princess, resulting in what could either be a comedic or dramatic romantic endeavor for the painter as he interacts with the princess and the world surrounding her.
