EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching depicts the landing of French-Senegalese troops at Cotonou harbour during the Dahomey War in May 1892. The uprising, led by the formidable King Behanzin, posed a significant challenge to French colonial expansion in West Africa. The image, taken from the illustrated supplement of the Petit Journal, captures the intensity and determination of the French forces as they disembark from their ships, ready to engage in battle. The harbour, bustling with activity, serves as a backdrop to the impending conflict, with sails hoisted high and flags fluttering in the wind. The soldiers, armed and armored, march forward with purpose, their gaze fixed on the unknown terrain ahead. The etching, created in France, offers a glimpse into the visual record of a pivotal moment in the country's colonial history. The Dahomey War ultimately resulted in the defeat of King Behanzin and the formal annexation of Dahomey as a French colony.
