This print captures a significant moment in history - the sack of Sikasso by Colonel Audeoud and his French soldiers in Sudan, May 1898. The image is featured on the cover of "Le petit parisien" from June 1898, a renowned journal at the time. The scene depicted showcases the intense battle between the French troops and their African counterparts, highlighting both war and violence as central themes. The engraving beautifully portrays the chaos and confrontation that unfolded during this colonial conflict. The presence of Zouave soldiers, known for their distinctive uniforms, adds an intriguing element to the composition.

As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that this event was part of a larger narrative surrounding European colonialism in Africa during the late nineteenth century. It serves as a reminder of France's military expansion into its overseas territories.
