EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating coloured engraving of General Alfred Amedee Dodds (1842-1922) exudes an air of authority and determination. This remarkable piece, created by the French School in the 19th century, can be found at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. General Dodds was a prominent figure involved in the colonisation of Senegal and Benin during his time. His legacy as a French soldier and colonialist is depicted through this striking portrait. Dressed in his military uniform with a pith helmet atop his head, he stands tall and confident. The full-length composition captures General Dodds amidst what appears to be a camp setting. The attention to detail showcases not only his commanding presence but also hints at the challenges faced during colonial expeditions. This print serves as a powerful reminder of an era marked by exploration and conquest. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the complex history surrounding European colonization efforts in Africa. As we admire this historical artwork, it is important to acknowledge that its purpose extends beyond commercial use. Instead, it invites us to delve into discussions about imperialism, power dynamics, and their lasting impact on nations like Senegal and Benin.
