EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures King Manuel II of Portugal, the last monarch of the House of Braganza, in exile in Twickenham, London during the early 1900s. Manuel II reigned from 1908 to 1910, a brief but significant period in Portuguese history marked by the Republican Revolution. The King is depicted in a formal setting, wearing the insignia of his royal titles and orders, including the collar of the Tower and Sword Order of Aviz, the Order of Christ, and the Order of the Immaculate Conception of Vila Viçosa. Manuel II's sash bears the royal arms of Portugal, and his jacket is adorned with epaulets. Surrounding the King are actual stamps issued during his reign, showcasing the various denominations and values of Portuguese currency during this time. The stamps serve as a reminder of the monetary system in place during Manuel II's rule and the historical context of his reign. The photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a monarch in exile, a poignant reminder of the political upheaval that marked the end of the Portuguese monarchy. Manuel II's story is an intriguing chapter in the history of Portugal, and this image offers a unique perspective on the man and the era he represented.
