EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment of remembrance and unity. Taken after the ceremony of 14 July, Algerian veterans are seen lighting the flame of remembrance on the tomb of the unknown soldier. The illustration is from an edition of "Le petit Journal Illustre" dated 27/07/1930. In this historic image, we witness the bachaga Sarahoui, a former captain of spahis, proudly bearing the flag that represents this sacred flame. Alongside him stands bachaga Ben Ghiba, an officer of the Legion of Honour, who performs a symbolic gesture with General Henri Gouraud. It is General Gouraud who passes him the sword in this solemn ritual. The scene exudes tradition and patriotism as these brave men honor their fallen comrades. Their actions symbolize not only respect for those who have sacrificed their lives but also serve as a reminder to future generations about the importance of remembering and honoring our history. This engraving beautifully depicts North African culture intertwined with French colonialism during that era. It showcases both African and Arab civilizations coming together in solidarity. Preserved in a private collection by an anonymous owner, this artwork by Stefano Bianchetti serves as a testament to human resilience and collective memory. Its historical significance cannot be overstated as it sheds light on an important chapter in Algeria's past while highlighting themes such as tradition, pride, and sacrifice within Maghreb society.
