1862 Arrives Ceremony Commerce Lisbon Portugal Procession

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the grand arrival of King Pedro V of Portugal at the Place du Commerce in Lisbon on a sunny day in 1862. The King, dressed in his regal attire, is seen dismounting from his horse in front of a cheering crowd. The Place du Commerce, now known as Praça do Comércio, was the historic heart of Lisbon's commercial district and the site of many important events and ceremonies. The King's procession through the streets of Lisbon was a spectacle to behold, with thousands of people lining the route to catch a glimpse of their monarch. The photograph captures the excitement and energy of the crowd, with people waving flags and hats, and children reaching out to touch the King's horse. King Pedro V, who ruled Portugal from 1853 to 1861, was a popular monarch who was loved by the people for his progressive policies and commitment to modernizing Portugal. His visit to Lisbon was an opportunity for him to connect with his subjects and showcase his support for the city, which had been devastated by the 1755 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. The photograph is a testament to the power of the monarchy to bring people together and create a sense of unity and pride. It also provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the sights, sounds, and emotions of a bygone era.
