The Raising of the French Flag at Timbuktu, 1894

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the raising of the French flag at Timbuktu in 1894. Painted by Frederic Lix, this artwork showcases an event that marked France's military incursions into the region since 1880. The city of Timbuktu, located in Mali, was occupied by French forces as they aimed to quell disruptions caused by the Tuareg people along vital trade routes across the Sahara desert. The tricolour banner stands tall against a backdrop of golden sand dunes and vast stretches of arid landscape. In this scene, we witness a group of soldiers proudly hoisting their nation's flag atop a makeshift pole. These brave men represent France's army and their determination to establish control over this strategic location. Their presence signifies not only colonialism but also warfare and occupation during the late 19th century. As we delve into this historical masterpiece from Le Petit Journal dated February 12th, 1894, it becomes evident that it encapsulates more than just geographical features or artistic expression. It symbolizes power struggles between nations and continents while shedding light on Africa's complex relationship with European powers during this era. Frederic Theodore Lix skillfully brings together color and concept to create an evocative image that reminds us of our shared past and its impact on present-day realities.
