EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving captures a significant moment in history as it depicts the French Occupation of Tunis and the signing of a crucial treaty between Tunisia and France. The scene is set at the majestic Bardo Palace on 12th May 1881, where an air of anticipation fills the room. In this historical artwork by English School from the 19th century, we witness a gathering that includes military personnel, royalty, and important figures from both nations. The central focus is on an elegant bey who stands poised to sign the treaty with France. His royal presence exudes authority and dignity while symbolizing Tunisia's acceptance of foreign influence. French officers of hussars flank him on either side, representing their country's military might during this occupation. Their uniforms add vibrancy to this black-and-white engraving while highlighting their role in shaping Tunisia's future. The grandeur of Bardo Palace serves as a backdrop for this monumental event. Its opulent architecture reflects power dynamics between nations during colonial times. This engraving was originally published in "The Graphic" on June 4th, 1881 - providing readers with an insight into international affairs at that time.
