EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Les vainqueurs du Cameroun; A Dakar: arc de triomphe," was created in 1916, during the First World War. The image, from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916," depicts a triumphal arch in Dakar, Senegal, erected in honor of the conquerors of Cameroon by the Municipalité. The archway, a significant architectural feature, stands proudly on a bustling street, surrounded by a diverse crowd of people, both African and European, celebrating the victory. The arch, a symbol of triumph and commemoration, is adorned with intricate designs and decorations, reflecting the grandeur and power of the French colonial empire at the time. The image captures the spirit of victory and celebration, as well as the intersection of cultures and the complexities of colonialism in Africa during the early 20th century. The photograph, although the creator remains unknown, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the historical context of the First World War and its impact on Africa. The archway, still standing today in Dakar, continues to serve as a reminder of the past, while also representing the rich cultural heritage and resilience of the Senegalese people.
