EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Advert for the Exposition de Lyon, 1894" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, this print captures the essence of the Exposition universelle, internationale et coloniale held in Lyon. The poster is a vibrant representation of France's colonial influence and its connection with West Africa. The personification of Africa stands tall at the center, adorned with traditional attire and surrounded by symbols representing Senegal, Soudan, Dahomay - all regions under French rule during that time. The scene depicted transports us to a lively village setting in one of these colonies. Indigenous people engage in their daily activities against a backdrop showcasing their rich culture and heritage. This engraving offers a glimpse into life within these communities while also serving as an advertisement for visitors attending the exposition. Displayed proudly at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this lithograph holds historical significance beyond its artistic beauty. It serves as a reminder of France's colonial past and its impact on both European society and African cultures. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder, let it spark curiosity about our shared global history and encourage reflection on how far we have come since then.
