"Portrait of Queen Amelia of Portugal 1865-1951 from Le Petit Journal 15th November 1896" is an illustration by Fortune Louis Meaulle, a French illustrator known for his work in the popular press during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular portrait was published in "Le Petit Journal," a prominent French newspaper that was renowned for its illustrated supplements. The portrait features Queen Amelia of Portugal, the last Queen consort of Portugal as the wife of King Carlos I, who reigned from 1889 until the monarchy's abolition in 1910.

The illustration captures Queen Amelia during a period of significant political and social change in Portugal. Born Princess Amélie d'Orléans, she was the daughter of Prince Philippe, Count of Paris, and Princess Marie Isabelle of Orléans. Her marriage to King Carlos I was part of a dynastic alliance, and she became known for her cultural sophistication, charitable works, and dedication to the improvement of social conditions in Portugal.

The portrait by Meaulle is reflective of the era's artistic style in the press, characterized by detailed line work and a clear representation of the subject's status and character. It would have served to inform and engage "Le Petit Journal's" readership about the Portuguese monarchy and international nobility, providing a visual accompaniment to the written articles of the time.

Fortune Louis Meaulle's work is an example of the important role that illustrations played in mass media before the widespread use of photography in newspapers. His depiction of Queen Amelia is not only a work of art but also a historical document that provides insight into the public image of the Portuguese monarchy at the end of the 19th century.
