EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Les vainqueurs du Cameroun; Apres la revue passee par le general Pineau' and dated 1916, captures a triumphant moment in the history of French colonialism in Africa during the First World War. The image shows a detachment of French Fusiliers Marins marching under an archway, built by the Travaux publics, in what appears to be a celebration of their victory in Cameroon. The photograph is part of the 'Collection de la Guerre IV' from the French publication 'L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916'. The location of the event is not explicitly stated, but it is believed to have taken place in either Cameroon or Senegal. The triumphal arch, an architectural feature commonly used to commemorate military victories, adds to the grandeur of the moment. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their weapons, walk with pride and determination, their faces expressing a sense of accomplishment. The photograph offers a glimpse into the colonial power dynamics of the early 20th century, with the French soldiers, represented as the victors, marching through the streets, while the local population is not visible in the image. The contrast between the white soldiers and the black and white background further emphasizes the power dynamics of the time. The photograph is a reminder of the complex history of colonialism and its impact on Africa and the world. It is an important historical document that provides insight into the military strategies and cultural practices of the time, and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the First World War.
