EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of profound uncertainty and apprehension experienced by Doctor Bernardino Machado, the overthrown President of the Portuguese Republic, as he awaits his exile in Madrid in December 1917. The image, titled "Coup d'etat in Portugal; Awaiting exile: Doctor Bernardino Machado," was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, a French publication based in Paris. Doctor Machado, who had served as the Head of State from 1915 to 1917, was deposed in a military coup led by Sidonio Pais. In this poignant family portrait, Machado is seen sitting indoors, deep in thought, with his daughters at his side. The atmosphere is heavy with the weight of history, as the President contemplates the end of his political career and the uncertain future that awaits him and his family in exile. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the tumultuous political climate of the early 20th century, and the personal cost of political upheaval. The image is also a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve historical moments, allowing us to bear witness to the past and better understand the complexities of human history. Bernardino Machado Guimaraes, born in 1851, was a prominent Portuguese politician and intellectual, who served as the President of the Portuguese Republic from 1915 to 1917. He was overthrown in a military coup led by Sidonio Pais in December 1917 and went into exile in Spain. He later returned to Portugal and continued his political career until his death in 1944.
