The Late Dom Pedro II, Ex-Emperor of Brazil, 1891
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and historically significant photographic print that captures the image of Pedro II, the last monarch of the House of Braganza and the second Emperor of Brazil. The print, which originated from "The Graphic. An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," Volume 44, July to December, 1891, showcases a mature man with a full beard, dressed in royal attire, gazing directly at the viewer with a solemn expression. Born on December 2, 1825, Pedro II was the son of Pedro I, the first Emperor of Brazil, and his consort, Maria Amalia of the Two Sicilies. He ascended to the throne in 1831, following his father's abdication. Pedro II ruled Brazil for over 58 years, longer than any other monarch in the country's history. However, his reign came to an end in 1889 when he was deposed in a military coup d'état led by Deodoro da Fonseca and Floriano Peixoto. The print depicts Pedro II in his later years, with a distinguished, graying beard and a sense of melancholy in his eyes. The background is simple, with no distractions, allowing the viewer to focus solely on the Emperor's face and demeanor. The print serves as a reminder of the historical significance of Pedro II and his role in the history of Brazil and South America as a whole. The image is a testament to the passage of time and the end of an era, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical or royal portraits. The creator of the print is unknown, but its provenance from "The Graphic" attests to its authenticity and historical value. The print is a valuable piece of history, capturing the essence of a man who ruled over a vast continent and left an indelible mark on its people and culture.
