EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of His Majesty Carlos I, King of Portugal, as he graces the front cover illustration of Le Petit Journal. Created by renowned artist Fortune Louis Meaulle in 1895, this colour lithograph showcases the grandeur and elegance befitting a monarch. Dressed in his official royal uniform, King Carlos I exudes power and authority. The three-quarter portrait highlights his sash adorned with medals and decorations that symbolize his esteemed position. A plumed helmet rests on his head while a sword hangs by his side, emphasizing both strength and nobility. With blond hair and a well-groomed moustache, King Carlos I possesses an undeniable handsomeness that adds to his allure. As a member of the Braganza dynasty and married to Amelie of Orleans, he carries with him not only Portuguese heritage but also connections to French royalty. The composition is framed by an elegant white column backdrop, further accentuating the king's prominence within society. His white glove adds a touch of refinement while drawing attention to every detail captured in this remarkable artwork. Although history would remember King Carlos I for tragic reasons - being assassinated in Lisbon in 1908 - this image immortalizes him at the height of his reign when he was admired as both ruler and diplomat. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by one of Portugal's most influential kings.
