EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Retreat of the French from Constantine on 24th November 1836" offers us a rare glimpse into a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous artist from the 19th century French School, this colour lithograph captures the essence of an event that shaped Algeria's colonial past. In this scene, we witness the defeat and retreat of the French army as they withdraw from Constantine, Algeria. The image portrays soldiers dressed in traditional costumes alongside light infantry troops. It showcases not only their military strength but also highlights their encounter with Arab civilization and North African culture. The print serves as a reminder of France's attempts at colonisation during this era and sheds light on the complexities surrounding imperialism. It symbolizes both victory and loss, triumph and defeat. Displayed at Musee du Val de Grace in Paris, France, this artwork holds historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as power dynamics between nations, cultural exchange, and resistance against foreign occupation. As we delve into this visual narrative captured by Bridgeman Images' eArchives Charmet collection, let us appreciate how art can transport us back in time—allowing us to explore pivotal moments that have shaped our world today.
