Moutons a poil du Sahel; L'Ouest Africain, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the early 1910s, depicting a scene of sheep farming in the Sahel region of West Africa. The image, created by an unknown photographer, was published in the French magazine "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914. The photograph presents a serene and picturesque tableau of rural life in the colonies of West Africa during the 20th century. In the foreground, a group of Sahelian sheep, with their thick, woolly coats, graze peacefully in a lush, green pasture. The sheep, which are a vital source of livelihood for the local population, are tended to by a farmer, dressed in traditional West African attire, who stands in the background, watching over his flock with a sense of pride and care. The Sahel region, which stretches across the African continent, is characterized by its arid climate and semi-desert landscape. The fact that these sheep were able to thrive in this environment, as evidenced by their thick coats, speaks to the resilience and adaptability of both the animals and the farmers who raised them. The photograph also serves as a poignant reminder of the historical connections between France and its West African colonies. At the time, France was a major colonial power in Africa, and its influence can be seen in the French language and cultural elements that are still present in many West African countries today. Overall, "Moutons a poil du Sahel; L'Ouest Africain, 1914" is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of farmers and their livestock in West Africa during the early 20th century. The photograph's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment in history that might otherwise have been lost to the sands of time.
