EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The French in Dahomey, the King of Dahomeys Amazons crossing a swamp on the March" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into an extraordinary moment in history. The image showcases a military parade led by the fearless King of Dahomey's Amazons as they navigate their way through a treacherous swamp. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation as these formidable women, known for their bravery and combat skills, traverse the challenging terrain. Dressed in striking uniforms adorned with rifles at their sides, they exude strength and determination. Their presence symbolizes both power and resistance against colonial forces. In this historical context, we witness France's involvement in Dahomey (present-day Benin), one of its overseas territories during that era. This engraving serves as an illustration for The Graphic newspaper from October 11th, 1890 – providing readers with a visual representation of this significant event. "The French in Dahomey" print not only captures the essence of military prowess but also highlights cultural exchange between France and its colonies. It invites us to reflect upon themes such as imperialism, gender roles within warfare, and intercultural encounters. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork remains an invaluable piece that allows us to delve into history while appreciating artistic mastery. Its intricate details transport us back to a time when boundaries were being crossed – both literally across swamps and metaphorically between nations –
