EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Le général Gallieni; Le jeune capitaine Gallieni, en 1881, revenant de sa mission dans la vallée du Niger, auprès d'Ahmadou," is a stunning portrait of French military officer, Joseph Simon Gallieni. Taken by renowned photographer J. Sereni in 1881, the image captures Gallieni in his youthful prime, returning from a mission in the Niger Valley with his companions, Lieutenants Valliere and Tautin, and Captain Pietri. Gallieni, who would later become a prominent figure in French military history, is depicted here in his military uniform, exuding confidence and determination. The image captures a moment of respite amidst the challenges of a military expedition, with the trio surrounded by the rugged terrain of the Niger Valley and the enigmatic figure of Ahmadou in the background. This photograph is a rare and valuable addition to the rich history of French military exploration and colonialism in Africa. The image is from the "Collection de la Guerre IV" and was published in "L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916," a prestigious French publication of the time. The photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of Gallieni and his companions, and a reminder of the significant role France played in shaping the political and cultural landscape of Africa during the late 19th century.
