EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Chasseur d'Afrique" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the rich history of French North Africa. The image showcases a member of the Army of Africa, known as Chasseurs d'Afrique, who were recruited from and stationed in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia between 1830-1962. Hand-coloured lithograph Parisian costume plates bring this historical moment to life with vibrant hues heightened by gum arabic. Created around 1855-56 as part of the series 'Paris au XIXe Siècle, ' this artwork captures not only the military aspect but also provides a glimpse into social history during that era. The soldier depicted stands proudly in his uniform, representing France's presence and influence on its colonies. His hat adds an element of distinction while symbolizing his allegiance to both country and battalion. The weaponry he carries serves as a reminder of the armed forces' role in maintaining control over these colonized territories. Through this engraving, we are transported to a time when Europe was actively engaged in recruitment efforts for their military campaigns abroad. It offers insight into how colonial powers operated during this period and sheds light on France's imperial ambitions. As we explore this piece further, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. These illustrations provide valuable glimpses into our shared past and allow us to reflect upon the complexities surrounding colonization and warfare. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece that invites viewers to delve deeper into European history while appreciating fine artistry at its finest.
