EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures a pivotal moment in the French colonization of Algeria during the Siege of Constantine in 1836. The scene unfolds as French Huntsmen of Africa, clad in traditional attire and armed with muskets, charge towards a group of retreating Arab warriors, leaving their camp at Sidi-Tantam. The Siege of Constantine, which lasted from November 21 to 27, 1836, was a significant turning point in the French conquest of Algeria, marking the end of the first major resistance against French rule. The engraving, part of the Achille Bertarelli collection of prints housed in Milan, Italy, offers a vivid glimpse into the colonial past. The intricate details of the artwork, with its rich colors and dynamic composition, transport us back in time, allowing us to witness the raw energy and intensity of the battle. The scene is reminiscent of a wrestling match, with each side determined to gain the upper hand. This powerful image serves as a testament to the complex and often tumultuous history of colonialism and imperialism, as European powers sought to expand their empires and assert their dominance over new territories.
