EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard from 1915 showcases a young Senegalese soldier in all his glory. The vibrant colors bring to life the rich cultural heritage of Africa, as he stands tall and proud in his impeccable uniform. With a rucksack slung over his shoulder and a bayonet by his side, this portrait exudes strength and determination. As a colonial subject serving in the French army during World War I, this soldier represents the complex dynamics of power and identity during that era. The Prussian helmets worn by him and his fellow soldiers symbolize their role as defenders against German aggression. The photograph captures not only the physical attributes of this brave individual but also offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in history. It serves as a reminder of the countless men who left their homes to fight for their countries' causes, often far away from familiar landscapes. Through its composition and attention to detail, this image evokes emotions of admiration for those who served on both sides of the conflict. It invites us to reflect upon the sacrifices made during war while appreciating the diversity within military ranks. Preserved in private collections like eArchives Charmet, these historical artifacts allow us to connect with our past and honor those who came before us. This print is more than just an image; it is a testament to resilience, courage, and unity amidst global turmoil.
