EDITORS COMMENTS
King Manuel II of Portugal (1914)
In this striking black and white portrait taken in October 1910, King Manuel II of Portugal sits regally adorned in his military uniform, complete with epaulets and helmet. The Duke of Beja's exiled monarch gazes away from the camera, a hint of melancholy etched on his face.
Photographed by renowned press photographer George Graham Bain for the Bain News Service, this image captures a pivotal moment in Portuguese history. King Manuel II had been forced into exile following a rebellion against him and the House of Braganza's rule over Portugal.
Bain's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the portrait, while the king's dignified demeanor conveys his sense of duty and responsibility as monarch. This powerful image is not only a testament to Bain's skill behind the lens but also a poignant reminder of the tumultuous times that shaped Portuguese history in the early 20th century.
Now housed at the Library of Congress, this photograph print serves as an enduring symbol of heritage art, offering us a glimpse into the lives and legacies of historical figures like King Manuel II.
