EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The fete of July 14: Commander Marchand has the head of Senegalese riders" captures a momentous event in French history. Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this print depicts a scene from the July 14 celebration, also known as Bastille Day. In this powerful image, Commander Marchand stands tall and proud, holding the severed head of a Senegalese rider. The symbolism is striking; it represents both military prowess and colonial domination. The engraving was featured in "Le sun-du-dimanche" on July 23,1899 - a significant date that marked France's national holiday. The atmosphere surrounding this festive occasion is palpable through the detailed depiction of a lively parade. Crowds gather to witness the spectacle as soldiers march with precision and pride. This print serves as a reminder of patriotism and unity within France during that time. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully brings this historical moment to life through his restoration work on this private collection piece. Through his efforts, we can appreciate every intricate detail captured by the original artist over a century ago. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, let us reflect on its significance - not only for its artistic value but also for its portrayal of history and culture. It serves as an important reminder of our past while encouraging dialogue about colonization and its consequences.
