About the print

The story behind this print

The red carnation, or cravo in Portuguese, became a symbol of freedom during Portugal’s Carnation Revolution on 25 April 1974. As soldiers moved through Lisbon to overthrow the dictatorship, people took to the streets and placed carnations in soldiers’ rifle barrels. The flower became closely associated with the largely peaceful revolution, which ended nearly five decades of authoritarian rule.

Every April, red carnations return to Portuguese streets as people commemorate Freedom Day, known locally as Dia da Liberdade. Alongside the carnation, another familiar part of Portugal is the calcada. Together, the carnation and calcada bring two very different parts of Portuguese life into one print.
