EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable journey of General Lyautey (1854-1934) as he embarks on a historic expedition to Marrakesh in an armoured car. Taken from Le Petit Journal on the 13th of October, 1912, this colour lithograph showcases the audacity and determination of the French marshal. Intriguingly set against the backdrop of Morocco's vast desert landscape, General Lyautey can be seen confidently seated inside the military vehicle, ready to face any challenges that lie ahead. The image exudes a sense of adventure and colonial power as it symbolizes France's presence in its North African colony. The vibrant colours used in this litho bring life to every detail: from the golden sand dunes stretching endlessly into the horizon to the imposing weaponry mounted on top of the car. It is evident that this photograph aims not only to document but also to celebrate General Lyautey's significant role in shaping French influence within Morocco during this period. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time and reminded of an era when exploration and conquest were intertwined with notions of progress and imperialism. This image serves as a testament to human ambition and resilience while also raising questions about our complex relationship with history. Displayed at Musee de La Presse in Paris, France, this extraordinary piece offers us a glimpse into a bygone era - one filled with both triumphs and controversies - inviting us to reflect upon our shared
