EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L Assiette au Beurre, number 479, Satirical in Colours, 1910_6_4" by Camara, Leal de (1877-1948) is a remarkable piece that delves into the complex themes of colonization and cultural exchange. The image portrays a satirical illustration depicting England's colonial presence in Africa during the early 20th century. The engraving showcases multiple people from different backgrounds and cultures coming together around a precious diamond jewel. The English and French caricatures are seen handling the diamond as if it were a gift or treasure, symbolizing their dominance over African resources. The artist skillfully captures the tension between tradition and modernity through his portrayal of Africans wearing traditional attire while interacting with European colonizers. This juxtaposition highlights the clash between indigenous customs and Western influence brought about by colonialism. Furthermore, this artwork sheds light on the intricate relationship between Britain and its colonies at that time. It serves as a poignant commentary on power dynamics and exploitation prevalent during this era of history. Overall, this thought-provoking print invites viewers to reflect upon the lasting impact of colonialism on African societies while also appreciating the artistic prowess employed by Leal de Camara in creating such an evocative piece.
