EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Monument to the Prince Imperial in Zululand" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The illustration, originally published in The Graphic magazine in 1880, showcases the memorial erected for Eugene Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, also known as the Prince Imperial. The image depicts a solemn scene where Zulu Chief Geboodo is seen taking an oath to protect this commemorative monument from any harm or destruction. This act of promise symbolizes the respect and admiration that both the Zulu people and French royalty held for the fallen prince. Eugene Louis Napoleon Bonaparte met his tragic end during the Zulu War while serving with the British army in South Africa. His death sent shockwaves across Europe as he was not only a member of French Emperor Napoleon III's family but also a beloved figure among his countrymen. The engraving beautifully captures this historical event, showcasing intricate details that bring it to life. From Geboodo's stoic expression to the grandeur of the monument itself, every element tells a story of honor and remembrance. As we gaze upon this print from Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, we are reminded of how art has always played a vital role in preserving history. It allows us to reflect on past events and pay tribute to those who have left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
