1. Title: "A Glorious Symbol of Portugal's Monarchic Past: The Flag of Portugal (1830-1910) 2.. This evocative photograph captures the essence of Portugal's rich history, as it showcases the Flag of Portugal during the monarchic period, circa 1905. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is an essential addition to any collection dedicated to Portuguese heraldry, history, or culture. The Flag of Portugal, as depicted in this photograph, dates back to 1830, when the country's monarchy was restored after the Liberal Wars. This design, which featured the national arms on a red background, was used until the establishment of the First Republic in 1910. The central element of the flag is the Portuguese coat of arms, which is a testament to the country's complex history. The shield is divided into quadrants, with the upper left and right quadrants displaying the arms of the House of Braganza and the House of Bourbon, respectively. The lower left and right quadrants depict the arms of the Order of Christ and the Order of Avis, two of Portugal's most prestigious orders. The flag is adorned with golden fringes and tassels, adding an elegant and ornate touch to the design. The tassels, which were a common feature of Portuguese flags during this period, were believed to represent the royal scepter and mace. This photograph offers a glimpse into Portugal's past, providing a visual connection to a time when the monarchy reigned supreme. It is a powerful reminder of the country's complex history and the enduring symbolism of its national flag. Whether you are an enthusiast of heraldry, history, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of symbolic designs, this photograph of the Flag of Portugal (1830-1910) is a must-have addition to your collection. It is a testament to Portugal's rich past and a reminder of the enduring power of symbols to connect us to our history.
