EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "In French Sudan" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the world of colonialism and military presence in Africa. The image showcases a scene from Upper Niger, now known as Mali, where French soldiers establish their camp under the shade of towering trees. The lithograph captures the essence of French influence in this region during that time. It was originally created by Henri Meyer and published in Le Petit Journal on November 7th, 1891. This illustration served as a visual representation of "The defence of Upper Niger" highlighting France's efforts to protect its interests and maintain control over this part of Africa. As we gaze at this historical artwork, we are reminded not only of political power dynamics but also the scientific exploration that accompanied European colonization. The presence of botany and natural history suggests an interest in studying local flora for scientific purposes. "In French Sudan" offers a glimpse into an era when France sought to expand its empire beyond Europe's borders. It symbolizes both the ambition and complexities associated with colonial rule while shedding light on how different cultures intersected during this period. With its rich colors and intricate details, this print serves as a testament to the artistic talent behind it. Preserved within private collections today, it continues to captivate viewers with its portrayal of history unfolding amidst lush landscapes and military encampments.
