This powerful engraving titled "Civilisation in Africa and Asia" from the 19th century depicts a thought-provoking cartoon on colonial exploitation. The image, originally published in Wiener Figaro in 1885, serves as a stark reminder of the impact of European imperialism on these continents.
The detailed illustration showcases the complexities of colonialism through allegorical figures representing Africa and Asia. The artist skillfully captures the struggles faced by indigenous peoples at the hands of foreign powers, highlighting themes of oppression and exploitation.
Through this satirical drawing, viewers are invited to reflect on the darker aspects of history and consider the lasting effects of colonization on societies in Africa and Asia.
