Repression at Brazzaville, August 1896 - A Glimpse into the Dark Era of European Colonization
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a haunting scene during a trade mission in Africa amidst the period of European colonization. The image depicts an intense moment as a European man desperately flees from pursuing Africans in Brazzaville, which was under French rule at that time. This card, produced by the Monastery of Aiguebelle, serves as a powerful reminder of the oppressive nature of colonialism. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this significant historical event. The spear-wielding Africans symbolize resistance against foreign domination while highlighting their determination to protect their land and culture. Meanwhile, the fear-stricken European represents the consequences faced by those who sought to exploit African resources for personal gain. As we delve into this 19th-century chromolithograph, it becomes evident that it is not just an ordinary collectible but rather a visual representation of imperialism's dark legacy. It transports us back to an era where power imbalances were starkly visible and warfare was employed as a means to maintain control. Brazzaville's transformation from being under French rule until its independence in 1960 adds another layer of significance to this artwork. It serves as a poignant reminder that despite enduring years of repression and exploitation, African nations have risen above adversity and reclaimed their sovereignty. In conclusion, this thought-provoking print invites us to reflect on our shared history while
