EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of "The Taking of Senegal by the French in 1779 during the American War of Independence". The coloured engraving, created by the French School in the 18th century, showcases a pivotal event that shaped both African and European history. In this image, we witness a significant military operation as a French force lands and seizes Saint-Louis, marking their conquest over Senegal. This strategic move was made possible through negotiations with Britain as part of the Treaty of Paris that ended the American War of Independence in 1783. The scene depicted here is filled with action and tension. We see troops marching ashore from their ships at port, ready to claim this valuable colonial territory for France. The bustling activity highlights not only the power dynamics between nations but also sheds light on Africa's role within global conflicts. Through this beautifully preserved engraving held at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, we are transported back to an era where empires clashed and territories were won or lost. It serves as a reminder of how historical events intertwine across continents and shape our world today. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from eArchives Charmet via Bridgeman Images, let us reflect on its significance - not just as an artistic representation but also as a document that illuminates an important chapter in both Senegalese and global history.
