EDITORS COMMENTS
Coup d'état in Portugal: Mr. Sidonio Pais, Head of the New Government, and Captain Machado Santos Review Sailors at Campolide, Lisbon, Portugal, 1917 This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Portuguese history as Mr. Sidonio Pais, the new head of the Portuguese government, conducts a military review of sailors at Campolide in Lisbon, Portugal, in December 1917. The coup d'état, which overthrew the democratic regime and established a dictatorship, took place during the First World War and marked the beginning of a tumultuous period in Portuguese politics. In the image, Pais, dressed in a formal suit and hat, stands confidently among military officers, including Captain Machado Santos, who is also dressed in a smart military uniform. Behind them, a large group of sailors, dressed in their sailor suits, stand at attention, their faces expressionless and their gazes fixed on the reviewing officers. The scene is set against a backdrop of darkness, with only the dim light of lanterns illuminating the area. This photograph is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, a French magazine known for its high-quality illustrations and reporting. The image provides a unique glimpse into the political and military landscape of Portugal during a time of great upheaval and change. The sailors, who had been fighting for the old government, now stand before their new leaders, a reminder of the shifting alliances and power dynamics that characterized the early 20th century.
