EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures the essence of international imperialism and historical propaganda during the Fashoda Incident in 1898. The image depicts Britannia, symbolizing British power and dominance, as a menacing wolf looming over the territory dispute between Kitchener's Anglo-Egyptian army and Marchand's French forces in South Sudan.
The cartoonish portrayal of Britannia as a big bad wolf reflects the anti-British sentiment prevalent at the time, with European powers vying for control over African territories. The Fashoda Incident was a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the clash of empires and their imperial ambitions.
Through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when colonial powers sought to expand their influence through military might and political maneuvering. The events surrounding Fashoda serve as a reminder of the complex relationships between nations and the lasting impact of imperialism on global politics.
Mary Evans Prints Online has curated an exceptional collection that brings to life key moments in history through powerful imagery like Wolf Britannia/Fashoda. This print serves as a poignant reminder of past conflicts and sheds light on how propaganda played a crucial role in shaping public perception during turbulent times.
