EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a pivotal moment in Brazilian history, the Proclamation of the Republic of Brazil on November 15, 1889. The scene unfolds in Rio de Janeiro's Cuvidor Street, where a jubilant crowd gathers to express their support for the new political order. At the center of the crowd's enthusiasm are two key figures: Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca and Quintino Bocaiuva. Deodoro da Fonseca, a military leader and the first President of the Republic of Brazil, stands confidently on the balcony of a grand Brazilian building. He wears the uniform of a marshal, symbolizing his military prowess and leadership. His right hand is raised in a gesture of greeting, acknowledging the cheers and applause from the people below. Quintino Bocaiuva, a prominent Brazilian politician and journalist, stands beside him, also waving to the crowd. He is dressed in a formal suit, reflecting his political status. The two men, who played crucial roles in the transition from the monarchy to the republic, are the focus of the popular ovation. The engraving, produced in the 19th century, captures the excitement and anticipation of the Brazilian people as they embrace the new republic. The image serves as a testament to the power of the people and their leaders, and the enduring spirit of Brazilian democracy.
