EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a poignant moment from the First World War in France, showcasing a postcard drawing of a Senegalese shoemer in 1918. The image serves as a reminder of the diverse contributions made by soldiers from all corners of the world during this tumultuous period in history.
The depiction of the Senegalese shoemer highlights the presence of African troops on European battlefields, shedding light on their often overlooked role in the war effort. The intricate details of his military uniform and proud stance convey a sense of patriotism and dedication to duty.
Against the backdrop of moonlight and waving flags, this postcard symbolizes not only colonialism but also unity and cooperation among nations facing a common enemy. It serves as a testament to the shared sacrifices made by individuals from different backgrounds for the greater good.
As we reflect on this historical artifact, we are reminded that war affects people from all walks of life, transcending borders and cultures. The engraving captures both the humanity and resilience of those who served during one of the most devastating conflicts in modern history.
