EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Suicide attempt by Samory Toure" depicts a pivotal moment in history captured by the French School of the 19th century. The image showcases the profound despair and desperation felt by Samory Toure, the renowned founder of the Islamic Wassoulou Empire in Guinea. Samory Toure valiantly resisted French colonial rule in West Africa during a time when many African nations were fighting for their independence. However, his efforts were ultimately thwarted when he was captured by the French in 1898 and subsequently exiled to Gabon. The litho beautifully portrays Samory Toure's anguish as he contemplates taking his own life with a knife. This powerful illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on February 5,1899, shedding light on this significant event. Through this thought-provoking artwork, we are reminded of the immense challenges faced by those who fought against colonialism and sought to preserve their cultural heritage. It serves as a poignant symbol of resistance and captivity endured by individuals like Samory Toure during that era. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, it is crucial to acknowledge both the strength and vulnerability displayed here. This photograph print not only captures an important chapter from African history but also invites us to contemplate themes such as power dynamics, cultural identity, and human resilience amidst adversity.
