EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases General Alfred Dodds, a remarkable figure in military history. Born in 1842 and passing away in 1922, Dodds left an indelible mark through his distinguished missions to Indochina and pacifying Senegal. However, it was his leadership during the Dahomey campaign that truly solidified his legacy. In recognition of his exceptional service, Dodds received the prestigious Dahomey medal from Commissioner General of the Navy Hanes. The photograph captures this significant moment as Dodds proudly displays the medal on his chest. His military uniform exudes authority and strength, reflecting his dedication to duty. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, but their skill is evident in capturing both the physical likeness and intangible essence of General Alfred Dodds. This print belongs to the private collection of Hanes Selvas. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when colonialism shaped Africa's destiny. It serves as a reminder of France's presence on African soil during the 19th century and highlights one man's extraordinary contributions within that context. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured this historical moment through photography, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. This photograph not only celebrates General Alfred Dodd's achievements but also invites us to reflect upon our shared pasts and understand how they have shaped our present realities.
