EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Loyalisme Musulman: A Bondoukou - The Gold Payments, a Bondoukou, under the veranda of the cercle's offices, 1916, is an evocative photograph capturing a pivotal moment during the First World War in the Ivory Coast. The image, from the Collection de la Guerre IV of the French publication L'Illustration, depicts a group of African men gathered under a veranda, carefully pouring gold dust into a large container. The scene unfolds in the town of Bondoukou, a significant administrative center during the French colonial rule. The photograph is a poignant representation of the complex dynamics of the war and the role of African populations. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, are shown actively participating in the war effort by contributing to the French war effort through the payment of gold. This act of loyalty and patriotism towards the French colonial power is a testament to the intricate web of relationships that existed between the European colonizers and the African population during this period. The photograph, taken in 1916, is a powerful reminder of the African experience during the First World War, often overshadowed by the dominant narrative of European involvement. The use of black and white tones adds to the historical and nostalgic feel of the image, transporting us back in time to a moment in history that continues to shape our understanding of colonialism and its impact on Africa. The creator of the photograph remains unknown, adding an element of mystery to the image. However, the photograph's inclusion in the Collection de la Guerre IV of L'Illustration attests to its historical significance and importance as a visual record of a pivotal moment during the First World War in the Ivory Coast.
