EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in history - the Portuguese Revolution of 1910. The front cover illustration from Le Petit Parisien, supplement litteraire illustre, dated 16th October 1910, showcases the dethronement of King Manuel II of Portugal. In this thought-provoking image, we witness the deposed king standing tall in his royal uniform adorned with medals and decorations. His expression reflects a mixture of shock and resignation as he grapples with the reality that his reign has come to an abrupt end. The quarter-length portrait allows us to observe every detail - from his white gloves to the sash draped across his chest. King Manuel II was born into royalty as the son of Queen consort Maria Amelia and King Carlos I. However, fate had different plans for him as he finds himself at the center of a revolution that would forever change Portugal's destiny. The significance of this photo lies not only in its historical context but also in its artistic representation. The photolitho technique used by French School artists beautifully captures every intricate line and texture, adding depth and emotion to this powerful image. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand a crucial moment when monarchy gave way to republicanism. It serves as a reminder that even those who seem untouchable can be toppled by forces beyond their control – an enduring testament to the power of people united for change.
