EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the Surrender of the Wadai sultan Doudmourrah to French troops commanded by Colonel Largeau. The image showcases the aftermath of a fierce battle between colonial powers and indigenous resistance. In this color lithograph created by the French School in the 20th century, we witness Sultan Doudmourrah kneeling before Colonel Victor Emmanuel Largeau, symbolizing his submission to French rule. The Wadai Empire had ruled over a vast region east of Lake Chad for centuries until its conquest by the French in 1909. The surrender was not without resistance, as depicted by soldiers surrounding them. This poignant scene highlights both defeat and humiliation suffered by those who resisted colonialism's encroachment on their lands and sovereignty. The image serves as a powerful reminder of European imperialism's impact on Africa during this era. It represents an important chapter in history when indigenous kingdoms were conquered and subjugated under foreign rule. This photograph print is part of a private collection but has been made available through Fine Art Finder's partnership with Bridgeman Images. Its historical significance makes it an invaluable piece that sheds light on past struggles for independence and self-determination against oppressive forces.
