EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the entrance of General Lyautey (1854-1934) and General Mangin (1862-1925) into Marrakesh in 1912. Taken by Charles Jules Duvent, this print showcases the grandeur and significance of this event. The image depicts a scene filled with anticipation as the two French generals lead their army through the city's imposing walls. The soldiers, mounted on majestic horses, exude power and authority as they make their way towards Marrakesh. This photograph serves as a visual testament to colonialism in North Africa during that era. The composition beautifully highlights both the architectural beauty of Marrakesh's ancient walls and the strength of these military leaders. It also offers a glimpse into Moroccan culture, with Arab locals observing this significant arrival from afar. Duvent's skillful capture immortalizes an important chapter in history when Morocco was under French colonial rule. The photo evokes mixed emotions - awe at its artistic quality but also reflection on the impact of colonization on indigenous populations. Displayed at Musee des Arts d'Afrique et d'Oceanie in Paris, France, this print is a valuable piece that sparks conversations about conquests, cultural exchanges, and historical legacies associated with colonialist endeavors.
