EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases João Crisostomo de Abreu e Sousa (1811-1895), a prominent Portuguese political and military figure of the 19th century. The image, skillfully crafted by the Spanish engraver A. Carretero, offers a glimpse into the life of this influential figure during a pivotal period in Portuguese history. Born in 1811, Abreu e Sousa rose to prominence during the turbulent times of the 19th century, a period marked by political instability and social upheaval. With a distinguished military career, he served in various capacities, including as a brigadier general and the commander of the National Guard. However, Abreu e Sousa is best known for his political prowess, having served as a member of the Portuguese parliament and holding several key cabinet positions. The engraving reveals an older man with a well-groomed beard and mustache, donning the uniform of a military officer. He wears glasses, a common accessory for those with aging eyes. The intricate details of the uniform, complete with insignia and decorations, speak to his high rank and esteemed position. Abreu e Sousa's stern yet contemplative expression conveys a sense of wisdom and determination, reflecting his role as a political and military leader during a time of great change in Portugal. This evocative image offers a window into the past, allowing us to connect with a figure who played a significant role in shaping the political and military landscape of Portugal during the 19th century. The engraving, a testament to the artistic skill of Carretero, serves as a reminder of the rich history and complexities of the Portuguese polity during this period.
