En Chasse: A Glimpse into the French Military's African Expedition". This photo print, titled "En Chasse" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a fascinating glimpse into the military forces of France. Captured by an anonymous French photographer, this coloured photograph showcases a moment from an African expedition. The image portrays a combat unit in action, with troops donning their distinctive uniforms and armed for battle. These soldiers belong to the renowned Armée d'Afrique (Army of Africa), known for its significant contributions during colonial times. Among them are members of the Spahis, a cavalry regiment that played a crucial role in maintaining order across French territories in Africa. The composition exudes both strength and determination as these brave men prepare themselves for what lies ahead. Their presence symbolizes not only France's military might but also its cultural influence on its overseas departments and territories. Originally featured as an illustration in Album Militaire by B Poussot & Valadon around 1900, this photograph has now found its place within private collections worldwide. Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate the artistry behind early photography while shedding light on historical events that shaped nations. Through this powerful visual document, we are reminded of the rich tapestry woven by French culture and history – one that extends far beyond European borders.
