EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a Map of French possessions and spheres of influence in Africa, accompanied by a breathtaking view of the river Senegal. Created in the late 19th century, this colour engraving by Dascher, G. , offers us a glimpse into the era of African imperialism and France's colonial ambitions. The map reveals the extensive reach of the French empire across various regions in Africa. It highlights their vast territorial acquisitions and areas where they held significant influence. This visual representation serves as a testament to France's pursuit of power and control during that time. Accompanying the map is an enchanting depiction of the river Senegal, which adds depth to our understanding of this historical period. The serene beauty captured in this image invites us to imagine what life was like along its banks during those days. Preserved within a private collection, this school exercise book cover provides valuable insights into both European colonialism and African history. It reminds us how nations sought dominance over distant lands through colonization, leaving lasting impacts on cultures and societies. As we reflect upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' eArchives Charmet collection, let it serve as a reminder that history is not only written but also visually represented. Through such prints, we gain glimpses into past events that have shaped our world today - reminding us to learn from them while appreciating their artistic value.
