EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in Portuguese history, as President Bernardino Luís Machado presents the representatives of the municipality of Verdun with the diploma and insignia of the Order of the Tower and the Sword on October 18, 1917. Machado, who served as the President of the Portuguese Republic from 1915 to 1918, is seen in a formal attire, standing face to face with the recipients in a full-length portrait. The Order of the Tower and the Sword is a military and honorary Portuguese order, which was established in 1162 and is one of the oldest orders in the world. The decoration was given to Verdun in recognition of its glorious contribution during the First World War. This image is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph is a testament to the political and historical significance of the event and provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the formalities and traditions of the early 20th century.
