The colour litho artwork by the French School of the 20th century is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into an intense battle scene. In this illustration for Le Petit Journal on November 18,1906, we witness the guet-apens de l'Adrar - an ambush that took place in Tidjikja. As French soldiers confront the Maures, chaos unfolds in the desert landscape of Mauretania. Two officers and two sous-officiers have tragically lost their lives during this fierce encounter. The image highlights not only warfare but also colonialism as it depicts African military forces fighting against French colonial troops.
