EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking lithograph, created in Italy during the late 19th century, alludes to the tumultuous period of the colonial division of Africa among European powers from the 1880s until the beginning of the First World War. The illustration specifically references the Fashoda Incident of 1898, a pivotal moment in the competition for territorial possessions in the basin of the Nile. In the image, a group of determined men, representing the European powers, are depicted standing in an upright, vertical formation, each man representing a different nation. Their intense gazes are fixed on a map spread out before them, indicating their unyielding determination to claim their respective territories. The black and white contrast adds a sense of gravity and seriousness to the scene. The Fashoda Incident occurred when French and British forces came into conflict over control of the Sudanese region along the Nile. The French, under the command of Colonel Marchand, had established a military camp at Fashoda, while the British, led by General Kitchener, were determined to prevent any French expansion into their sphere of influence. The standoff lasted for several months before a diplomatic solution was reached, with the French agreeing to withdraw from the region. This lithograph, created in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, serves as a visual reminder of the complex and often violent power struggles that took place during the colonial era. The image highlights the determination and ambition of the European powers, as well as the human cost of their quest for territorial dominance.
