EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Alexandre Herculano (1810-1877), a prominent Portuguese writer, historian, journalist, novelist, poet, politician, and political commentator of the 19th century. Born in Porto, Portugal, Herculano's literary career began in earnest in the 1830s, during the liberal revolution, when he became a prolific contributor to various Portuguese and European journals. He is best known for his historical works, including "História de D. Sebastião" and "História de Portugal," which provided a fresh perspective on Portuguese history and helped to fuel the nationalist sentiments of the time. In this image, Herculano is depicted in an oval frame, dressed in the fashionable attire of the era - a bow tie and a suit. His serious expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of intensity and intellectual rigor. The engraving, published in "The Spanish and American Illustration" in 1877, was produced during the height of Herculano's career, when he was at the forefront of Portuguese politics and literature. Herculano's multifaceted contributions to Portuguese culture and society earned him a place as a leading figure of the Romantic period in Portuguese literature and a symbol of the country's rich intellectual heritage. His influence extended beyond Portugal, as his works were translated into multiple languages and read widely in Europe and the Americas. This engraving serves as a testament to Herculano's enduring legacy as a writer, historian, and public figure.
