EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1903 depicts a dramatic scene of a French convoy being attacked by Moroccan looters south of Oran. The image, created by an anonymous artist from the French School in the early twentieth century, is now part of a private collection. The print transports us back to a time when colonialism and conflict shaped the landscapes of North Africa. In this particular moment, we witness the chaos and violence that ensued as Moroccan bandits targeted the French convoy traveling through the arid desert. The engraving showcases horsemen engaged in a fierce brawl with their attackers while camels laden with luggage stand nearby. The image serves as a reminder of France's presence and influence in Algeria during this period. It also highlights the complexities and tensions inherent in colonial relationships between European powers and African nations. As we delve into this historical narrative, it becomes evident that this engraving captures more than just an act of aggression; it symbolizes larger themes such as power dynamics, cultural clashes, and resistance against foreign invasion. Through its intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, this artwork immerses us in an era marked by exploration, conquests, and struggles for independence across Africa. It invites contemplation on both sides of history – those who sought to dominate lands far from home and those who fought to preserve their own way of life. With every glance at this evocative print captured by Photo Josse, we are transported back to that tumultuous period where East met West amidst shifting sands – forever etching itself into our collective memory.
