EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the French victory in the Sahara. The scene depicts a fierce combat between the French army and Tuareg rebels, set against the vast expanse of the desert. This particular battle took place before the capture of In Salah, a crucial refueling center for the rebels. The engraving originally appeared in "Le petit journal" on January 21,1900, showcasing this remarkable event to readers at that time. It is now part of the Selva Collection and owned by Leonard de Selva. The image not only highlights an intense military confrontation but also sheds light on colonialism and its impact on North Africa during this period. The presence of French forces in Algeria is evident as they engage with Tuareg fighters who resisted their rule. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into early 20th-century Africa, witnessing both conflict and cultural dynamics. The rich colors and intricate details bring life to this historical moment while emphasizing its significance within European-African relations. Leonard de Selva's ownership of this print ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
