EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hostages from subjugated Moroccan tribes marching past General Drude at Casablanca" captures a significant moment in history. In the image, we see General Antoine Drude standing tall as he watches the procession of hostages from Moroccan tribes march past him. The scene depicted here took place in 1907 during the unrest in Casablanca. Riots erupted when French residents were attacked by locals who opposed the construction of a light railway near the port. As a response, French troops were deployed to quell the uprising and regain control over the city. In this powerful illustration for Le Petit Parisien, we witness both sides of colonialism and occupation. The defeated Moroccan captives are seen as prisoners, while General Drude represents the commanding force behind their captivity. The composition is filled with tension and symbolism, showcasing not only military might but also cultural clashes between France and Morocco. It serves as a reminder of how conquests shaped history and influenced relationships between nations. This photograph offers us an opportunity to reflect on historical events that have shaped our world today. It reminds us of both triumphs and tragedies that occurred during this period of North African history under French rule.
