EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "L'Assiette au Beurre, number 353, Satirique en couleurs, 1908_1_4: Train, Sahara" takes us back to the early 20th century in French colonial Africa. The image captures a moment of exploration and urban planning as a train traverses through the vast expanse of the Sahara desert. The railway depicted here symbolizes progress and modernity in an otherwise harsh and unforgiving landscape. Its presence signifies France's ambitious efforts to expand its influence into far-flung territories during the era of colonialism. The architectural design of the station showcases a blend of European influences with African elements, reflecting the fusion between cultures that occurred during this period. As we gaze at this engraving from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of how transportation played a crucial role in shaping societies and connecting remote regions. It also highlights the power dynamics inherent in colonization - with France leaving its mark on African soil through infrastructure development. This photograph is not just an artistic representation but also holds historical significance by capturing an important chapter in both French and African history. It invites us to ponder upon themes such as progress versus preservation, cultural exchange versus exploitation, all within the context of colonial expansion.
