EDITORS COMMENTS
The French flag proudly waves in In-Salah, Algeria on 10 January 1900, as depicted in this print from Le Petit Journal. The title page of the renowned publication, dated 28 January 1900, showcases a vibrant colour engraving by Oswaldo Tofani capturing the essence of colonial triumph. In this illustration, we witness a momentous celebration of victory and national pride. A group of soldiers dressed in their military uniforms and traditional attire can be seen saluting with raised swords while riding horseback. Their faces are filled with joy and determination as they cheer for their triumphant conquests. The tricolour flag stands tall amidst the backdrop of In-Salah's landscape, symbolizing France's presence and influence over its colony. Its vibrant hues radiate strength and resilience against the desert terrain. This image serves as a testament to the era of colonization, where nations sought to expand their territories and exert dominance over foreign lands. It encapsulates both the power dynamics at play during that time period and the fervent patriotism exhibited by those who served under their nation's banner. Preserved at Musee de La Presse in Paris, France, this historical artifact allows us to reflect upon an important chapter in world history. It reminds us of the complexities surrounding imperialism while also acknowledging the bravery displayed by soldiers who fought for what they believed was right.
