Gaby Deslys & her role in the Portuguese revolution
Portrait of French actress and singer, Gaby Deslys (1881-1920), pictured in The Bystander wearing a particularly frivolous stage outfit. Published at the time of the Portuguese republican revolution, Gaby was romantically linked with the deposed King Manuel II of Portugal and blamed by some members of the press for her role in his downfall. The Bystander criticises her here for a statement she made about her relationship with the King, claiming she was Queen of her Art, and that Portugal was a petty state
