His youthful visage hints at the great ruler he would become, leading his kingdom to new heights. Illustrated in an ancient woodcut from "Of the new lands and of the people found by the messengers of the King of Portugal, " we witness natives from Brazil meeting with Portuguese explorers. This encounter represents Portugal's vast colonial empire during Manuel's reign, showcasing their influence on distant lands. A lithograph captures a momentous occasion as The King of Portugal visits London, warmly greeted by Marquis Salisbury at Mansion House. Diplomatic ties are strengthened between nations as they exchange pleasantries amidst grandeur and opulence.

This naval encounter showcases maritime prowess while fostering international relations through shared exploration and discovery. The litho artwork portrays an extraordinary event - The Visit of the King Edward by The King Of Portugal.

Through Pierre Langlumé's masterpiece "The Suspended Congress, " we glimpse political turmoil surrounding Portuguese affairs in 1829. It reflects challenges faced by successive rulers after Manuel's reign but also highlights his enduring legacy within national history. Another striking black and white photograph reveals yet another enigmatic figure - Philip III, both Spain's king and ruler over Portuguese territories. His dual role speaks volumes about complex relationships forged during this period between neighboring kingdoms.
