Exercice de Tir - A Glimpse into the Military Forces of 19th Century French Africa
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured photo print, titled "Exercice de Tir" offers a fascinating insight into the military world of 19th-century French Africa. Taken by an anonymous French photographer and now part of a private collection, this image showcases soldiers engaged in target practice. The scene depicts a group of cavalry and infantry soldiers diligently honing their marksmanship skills. The photograph captures the intensity and focus on their faces as they aim their rifles towards distant targets. It is evident that these men are well-trained professionals dedicated to protecting France's interests in its African territories. This particular image was chosen as an illustration for the renowned Album Militaire published around 1900 by B Poussot & Valadon. Its inclusion in this esteemed publication highlights its significance within military circles during that era. With its rich historical context, this print sheds light on the armee d'Afrique (French Army of Africa) and provides valuable insights into colonialism, warfare tactics, and cultural exchange between France and its overseas departments and territories. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also recognize the bravery and dedication exhibited by these soldiers who served under challenging circumstances in pursuit of their nation's goals.
