EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment of "The French Occupation of Tunis" during the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a pivotal event that took place on October 12th. Intriguingly detailed, the image depicts a scene filled with military action and chaos. French troops are seen launching an attack on Tunis, while insurgents and Arab refugees scramble amidst the ruins caused by this conflict. The walls of Tunis stand tall in defiance as they bear witness to this significant turning point in history. The commanding presence of Ali Bey is evident as he leads his forces against the occupying French army. Meanwhile, various forts such as El Rebta, Filka, and Sidi Bil Hasan can be spotted strategically positioned throughout the landscape. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic newspaper on October 29th, 1881 - providing readers with a visual representation of this news item from afar. It offers viewers a glimpse into a tumultuous period when Tunisia found itself under foreign occupation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a time where political tensions ran high and borders were redrawn through military might. This photograph serves as both an educational tool for understanding history and a testament to human resilience in times of upheaval.
