EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment when Zombe-Fatoum, also known as Djombe-Fatouma or Jumbe Fatouma, Queen of Moheli in the Comoros, arrived in Marseille. The image is taken from "The Universe illustrious" publication dating back to 1868. Zombe-Fatoum was a remarkable figure who reigned over her people with grace and strength during a time of great colonial influence. As an African queen, she symbolized resilience and defiance against the oppressive forces of European colonialism. In this print, we see Zombe-Fatoum standing tall and regal, exuding power through her dignified posture. Her traditional attire reflects her rich cultural heritage while simultaneously challenging Western norms imposed upon her. Arriving in Marseille must have been a significant event for both Zombe-Fatoum and the French onlookers. It marked a rare encounter between two vastly different worlds - one dominated by imperialism and the other rooted in indigenous traditions. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the complex history that unfolded during this period. It invites us to reflect on themes such as identity, resistance, and cultural exchange. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by Stefano Bianchetti's lens, let us honor Zombe-Fatoum's legacy as an emblematic leader who defied expectations and left an indelible mark on history.
