EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Manuel II, the last king of Portugal. Taken in 1910 by Joseph Simpson, a renowned British photographer, this portrait showcases the monarch's dignified demeanor and royal attire. Manuel II (1889-1932) ruled over Portugal during a tumultuous period in its history. His reign was cut short when he was forced into exile following the Portuguese Revolution of 1910, which marked the end of monarchy in the country. Despite his young age at the time, Manuel II exudes an air of maturity and composure in this image. The vibrant colors used in this photograph bring to life both his majestic persona and the era he lived in. The rich blues and reds highlight his royal garments while adding depth to his surroundings. Through Simpson's lens, we are transported back to early 20th century Britain where this portrait was featured in "The Strand Magazine" a popular illustrated monthly publication. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are reminded not only of Manuel II's significance as a sovereign but also of how photography can immortalize moments that would otherwise be lost to time. This print serves as a testament to both Simpson's artistic talent and Manuel II's enduring legacy as one of Portugal's final kings.
