EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the defense of Mazagran, a battle that took place from 3 to 6 February 1840. Against all odds, Captain Lelievres French battalion emerged victorious in this fierce encounter against an army of over 10,000 men led by Abd el Kader. The engraving featured in "Le petit journal" on 6 December 1896 immortalizes this significant event. The image transports us back to the battlefield in North Africa, where colonialism and military camps were a common sight. The intensity of combat is palpable as soldiers stand firm against their adversaries. This engraving serves as a testament to the bravery and resilience displayed by both sides during this conflict. Abd el Kader's attempt to seize control was met with unwavering determination from Captain Lelievre and his troops. Their victory not only secured their position but also showcased the strength and skill of French forces during this period. As we delve into history through this photograph, it is important to acknowledge its significance beyond just a depiction of war. It sheds light on Arab civilization and highlights the complexities surrounding Algeria's struggle for independence. Leonard de Selva's masterful capture allows us to reflect upon the sacrifices made by those involved while reminding us that even amidst chaos, moments like these shape nations and leave an indelible mark on our collective memory.
