Brazil's last Emperor Pedro II on his vacations

This man was His Imperial Majesty, Dom Pedro II, Constitutional Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Brazil. He reigned from his father abdication in 1831 (Because his father Pedrão decided he loved more than us) until he was deposed by seditious republicucks in the army in November 15th 1889. Though he was under a regency council until 1840 due to being a child when his father abdicated and left him in Brazil.

Anyways, D. Pedro II traveled a lot in his late reign. In the 1870s he went to Egypt, the Middle East, Europe and the United States, and I just wanted to share some pictures I found interesting.

So on the second pic he's hiking the Pyramid of Cheops.

This pic was taken during his visit to Jerusalem.

This one is from Niagara Falls

Also, everywhere he went he wrote down his name along with the date. He wrote in on Cheops sarcophagus as well.

During his Eurotrip he met with Friedrich Nietzche on a train trip, on the United States he went to the Philadelphia world fair and was among the first to use Alexander Graham Bell's invention, the telephone (apparently he attracted public attention to Graham Bell's invention). He loved so much it was soon installed on his palace at Quinta da Boa Vista in Rio de Janeiro, and another line in Petrópolis (his summer palace in the Serra Fluminense).
