EDITORS COMMENTS
King Manuel II of Portugal bids a sorrowful farewell to his beloved country, Adeus par nunca mais. This poignant illustration captures the historic moment when the last King of Portugal, son of Amelie of Orleans and Carlos I, was forced into exile during the Revolution in October 1910. Standing tall on the deck of the royal yacht Amelia IV, King Manuel II gazes out towards the coast as he prepares to depart for an uncertain future. Dressed in a dignified suit with a tie and hat, he embodies both regal elegance and profound sadness. The fortified coastline serves as a stark reminder of the turbulent times that led to this parting. The sea stretches before him, symbolizing not only physical separation but also the vast emotional distance between him and his homeland. As one sailor raises anchor while others adjust sails, their somber expressions mirror King Manuel's own feelings of loss and longing. The abolition of monarchy in Portugal marked an end to centuries-old traditions represented by names like Braganza and Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha. This print from Le Petit Journal allows us to witness history unfolding before our eyes. It immortalizes a moment when power shifted dramatically, leaving behind a monarch who would spend years in exile within the United Kingdom. Through this image, we are reminded not only of political upheaval but also personal sacrifice—a king bidding farewell to his country with grace and dignity.
