Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princess_Aline
"The Princess Aline" by Richard Harding Davis is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Morton Carlton, an accomplished portrait painter from New York City, whose life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes enamored with Princess Aline of Hohenwald after seeing her photograph. This fascination leads him on an adventurous quest to meet her, navigating the complex world of royalty and his own romantic ideals. At the start of the novel, Carlton is portrayed as a charming and somewhat whimsical character, a man of privilege with a humorous but earnest desire to find love beyond societal expectation. He is introspective and grapples with what love means to him, often comparing his unfulfilled romantic exploits to the ideals of knightly quests. As he prepares for his journey to Europe, he reflects on his perceptions of women and love, all while becoming increasingly fixated on the elusive Princess Aline. The narrative weaves through Carlton's thoughts and musings, setting the stage for a romantic pursuit that promises both comedy and dramatic moments in his interactions with the princess and those around him.
