Celebrating the Triumph of the Portuguese Republic: A Postcard from the Revolution of 1910 This evocative postcard commemorates the momentous occasion of the Portuguese Republic's establishment on October 5, 1910, marking the end of the monarchy and the beginning of a new era. The image personifies Portugal as a proud and resilient woman, triumphantly holding the Portuguese flag and a laurel wreath, symbolizing victory and renewal. Surrounding the figure of Portugal are the key figures who played pivotal roles in the revolution. Among them are President Joaquim Teofilo Fernandes Braga, who led the provisional government, and several ministers: Jose Relvas, Minister of Finance; the Minister of the Interior; Afonso Costa, Minister of Justice; and the Ministers of War and the Navy. Their determined expressions and regal attire reflect their unwavering commitment to the cause. At the base of the image, an unflattering depiction of the deposed King Manuel II and his allies, including military and religious figures, are being blasted out of office. The use of cannons and explosions underscores the revolutionary fervor that swept through Portugal during this time. This postcard, created in 1910 by the renowned Portuguese artist Augusto de Vasconcelos, captures the spirit of the revolution and the hope for a new, democratic future. The image remains an essential piece of Portuguese history, offering a glimpse into the pivotal moment when the First Portuguese Republic was born.
