EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph titled "Back from Fashoda, Reception of Captain Baratier at the Gare de Lyon, Paris" captures a momentous celebration in the heart of France. The image depicts a bustling platform at the Gare de Lyon, adorned with colorful flags and filled with eager admirers. Dressed in their finest uniforms, railway assistants stand alongside excited onlookers as they await the arrival of Captain Baratier. As the train pulls into the station, cheers erupt from the crowd. Captain Baratier emerges onto the platform, his cheeks flushed with pride and gratitude. He is met by his brother Albert Baratier, who embraces him warmly. The atmosphere is electric as friends and well-wishers surround them both. This joyous occasion marks Captain Baratier's triumphant return from Fashoda—a significant event during which he played a crucial role as an officer under Major Marchand. Their journey to this remote Sudanese outpost had captured international attention and sparked tensions between France and Britain. In this lithograph by Frank Dadd after an engraving for The Graphic newspaper, we witness not only a celebration but also a symbol of national unity and pride. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political turmoil and military endeavors, moments like these can bring people together in shared jubilation. This print offers us a glimpse into history—an unforgettable scene that immortalizes Captain Baratier's homecoming at one of Paris' busiest train stations.
