Conquest of German East Africa - Retreat of the Enemy - The Procession of the German Governor, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a striking photograph taken during the East African Campaign of the First World War. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, depicts a procession of German soldiers and officials, led by the governor, in retreat. The scene unfolds in the Mahenge Morogoro region of Tanzania, Africa. The men, mostly Caucasian, are seen marching in a disciplined line, some carrying rifles, others waving flags or bearing banners. A few ride on rickshaws, while some local indigenous men accompany them, possibly as porters or guides. The bridge in the background, with its arches and wooden planks, adds to the sense of movement and transition. The image captures the historical moment of the German defeat in East Africa, marking the end of their colonial rule in the region. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the adversarial nature of war and the human cost of colonialism. It also serves as a visual record of a significant event in the 20th century, the First World War, and the African continent's history. The image's artistic merit lies in its ability to convey a sense of history, concept, and location, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical or military illustrations.
