EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Tunisia, July 1881: French troops seizing the city of Stax after a fierce revolt by the local inhabitants against the French protectorate. The engraving, created by Frederic de Haenen and featured in "The Illustrous World" on August 20th, 1881, portrays an intense scene at the foot of the casbah (kasbah). In this image, billowing smoke from marine rifles engulfs Arab houses as soldiers engage in combat with determined resistance fighters. The street scene is filled with tension and chaos as both sides clash for control over this North African territory. The engraving serves as a reminder of colonialism's impact on Africa during the late 19th century. It highlights not only France's military presence but also the anticolonial sentiment that fueled uprisings across Tunisia and other parts of the Maghreb region. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully presents this historical event through his lens, capturing its complexity and significance. As we observe this artwork today, it prompts us to reflect upon the struggles faced by Tunisians during their fight for independence. This powerful image stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as a visual record of an important chapter in Tunisia's history.
