EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Advancement of the Marchand Mission into the Virgin Rain Forest, 1898" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases a scene from Central Africa, where French soldier and explorer Jean Baptiste Marchand led an expedition to prevent the British from linking Sudan to Uganda. In this vibrant colour lithograph, we witness the relentless determination of these missionaries as they navigate through the dense and untamed jungle. They are seen carrying supplies on their backs while chopping their way forward with swords, symbolizing their unwavering commitment to their cause. The portrait captures not only the physical challenges faced by these brave individuals but also highlights the resilience and spirit that drove them forward. The presence of native Africans in this image reminds us of the cultural exchange that took place during such expeditions. This historical photograph is a testament to human ambition and exploration. It serves as a reminder of our innate curiosity and desire for discovery, even in some of Earth's most remote and challenging environments. Displayed proudly at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork preserves an important chapter in colonial history. Its availability through eArchives Charmet allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its contribution to our understanding of past events.
