EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the momentous occasion of the opening of the Lisbon Railway in Portugal on October 3, 1853. The image shows Queen Maria II of Portugal, dressed in an elegant gown and holding a parasol, standing next to a group of dignitaries and officials. In her right hand, she holds a golden spade, symbolizing the beginning of the railway era in Portugal. The Lisbon Railway, also known as the "Caminho de Ferro de Lisboa e do Estoril," was the first railway line in the Iberian Peninsula and a significant milestone in Portugal's transportation history. The line connected Lisbon to Carregado, a distance of approximately 27 kilometers, and was built with the help of British engineers and capital. The opening ceremony was a grand affair, attended by thousands of people, including members of the Portuguese royal family, diplomats, and local dignitaries. The Queen's arrival at the railway station in Lisbon was greeted with great fanfare, and the crowd cheered as she inspected the railway cars and the engines. The Queen then proceeded to the site of the first railway station in Carregado, where she performed the official opening ceremony by driving the golden spike into the ground with a ceremonial hammer. The crowd erupted in applause as the first train departed from the station, marking the beginning of a new era in Portugal's transportation history. This photograph is a precious reminder of a significant moment in Portugal's history, capturing the excitement and anticipation of the opening of the first railway line in the country. The image also highlights the role of the monarchy in promoting progress and development in Portugal during the 19th century.
