The Battle of Napa, Upper Niger - A Glimpse into the French Colonial Warfare in Africa
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a defining moment in history - "The Battle of Napa, Upper Niger". Created by Frederic Theodore Lix and published in Le Petit Journal on September 3,1894, this colour lithograph depicts the heroic death of Lieutenant Lecerf during a fierce confrontation. Set against the backdrop of the African landscape, this image showcases the intensity and brutality of warfare. French soldiers known as tirailleurs engage in combat with their colonial counterparts. The battlefield is strewn with wounded soldiers fighting for their lives while others succumb to their injuries. Amidst this chaos, Lieutenant Lecerf stands tall as a symbol of bravery and sacrifice. His glorious death serves as a testament to his unwavering dedication to his country and comrades. As we delve into this historical scene, it becomes evident that not only were physical injuries prevalent but also medical science played an essential role in providing healthcare services to those wounded on the battlefield. The presence of Asklepios (Asclepius), the Greek god associated with healing and medicine further emphasizes this aspect. Through this powerful image, we gain insight into France's colonial ambitions and its impact on African territories during the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of both the triumphs and tragedies that unfolded during these tumultuous times.
