Guillaume Apollinaire （1880.8.26—1918.11.9）， a French poet， novelist， play writer， and critic. He was deemed as the pioneer of Surrealism， as his poems and plays are innovative in many ways. Apollinaire was known for his poems， however， he started his career writing novels. His poetry has a wide range of subjects and styles， and his novels are bizarre and suspenseful. In 1899， Apollinaire arrived in Paris. After securing work as a bank clerk， bookstore staff， journalist， and babysitter， he became friends with and an avid supporter of avant-garde writer A. Jari and artist Pablo Picasso.

In 1904， Pablo Picasso met Fernande Olivier， a model from Bohemia， and soon fell in love with each other. She became the first muse of Picasso， and moved in to his Bateau Lavoir. The beginning of his relationship with Olivier was surely an influence in Picasso’s change of style. He entered into “Rose Period” from the downtime “Blue Period”.

Saud bin Abdul Aziz （1902.1.15-1969.2.23）
Arabic Name： دوعس لآ زي زعلا دبع نب دوعس
Saud bin Abdul Aziz， the second king of Saudi Arabia from 1953 to 1964， and the second son of Ibn Saud （also known as Abdulaziz）. It is well known that king Saud bin Abdul Aziz is fond of collecting antiques， jewelries， and famous paintings. His collection has been exhibited in museums all over the world. In 1964， the government of Saudi Arabia auctioned the collection of Saud bin Abdul Aziz after he was no longer the king. The majority of the artworks are now owned by the royal family.
This royal album collects the royal family photography， political affairs photos， and personal photos of king Saud bin Abdul Aziz. When the owner of the album was selecting works for the Palace Museum， he discovered 3 works made by Picasso. One made in 1929， the other two were made in 1904.
