EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Maka-Amady, Nafe-Bakary, and Koly, Hostages from Senegal to the French Government" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print sheds light on the complex relationship between Senegal and the French government during that time. The three figures depicted here are Maka-Amady, Nafe-Bakary, and Koly - hostages who were taken from Senegal by the French government. Dressed in traditional attire that reflects their cultural heritage, they stand as symbols of resistance against colonial rule. Their expressions reveal a mix of determination and resilience amidst adversity. The intricate details captured by the artist emphasize their individuality while also highlighting their shared struggle for freedom. Published in The Illustrated Times on July 31st, 1858, this illustration serves as a powerful reminder of the impact of colonization on African nations. It invites viewers to reflect upon historical injustices and raises questions about power dynamics between colonizers and those being colonized. Preserved within a private collection today but made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this engraving offers us an opportunity to engage with history visually. It encourages us to delve deeper into narratives often overlooked or forgotten while honoring the strength and resilience of individuals like Maka-Amady, Nafe-Bakary, and Koly who played vital roles in shaping our world today.
