EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative drawing by M. Kerjean captures the essence of the first African expeditions during the second half of the nineteenth century, specifically a French ship approaching the village of Abata on Lake Ebrie in what is now Côte d'Ivoire. The image portrays a colonial encounter between Europeans and Africans, with a French flag proudly displayed on the ship, symbolizing the expansion of French colonial influence. The palm trees lining the lake shore and the thatched huts of the village contrast sharply with the modern steam-powered vessel, highlighting the cultural and technological divide. The expeditionary party, likely composed of explorers and soldiers, is shown disembarking from the ship, ready to make contact with the local population. The villagers, who are depicted in the background, seem to be observing the scene with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. This drawing provides a glimpse into the complex and often fraught relationships that emerged during the colonial era, as European powers sought to establish control over African lands and resources. It is important to note that this image does not depict a commercial venture, but rather an exploratory expedition. The Age of Discovery and colonialism brought about significant changes to the world, with far-reaching consequences that continue to shape our globalized world today. This drawing serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of these events and the enduring impact they have had on the peoples and cultures of Africa and beyond.
