Le General Lyautey at Agadir - A General View of the Casbah and Debarkation of the Resident General...1916
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the First World War era, showcasing the arrival of French Resident General Hubert Lyautey in Agadir, Morocco, on September 22, 1916. The image, taken from the collection "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916," offers a glimpse into the historical event that marked a significant moment in the French colonial expansion in North Africa. The photograph captures the grandeur of the French military presence, with a large fortification looming in the background, overlooking the Agadir harbor. The casbah, a traditional Moroccan fortified town, is visible in the foreground, with soldiers and horses gathered around the dock, awaiting the arrival of their commanding officer. The image conveys a sense of anticipation and excitement, as the French troops welcome their leader, who would go on to play a pivotal role in the French protectorate in Morocco. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century, is a testament to the rich history of the region and the complex dynamics of colonialism during the First World War. The image's monochromatic palette adds to its timeless quality, making it a valuable addition to any historical or military collection. The photograph's creator is unknown, but its historical significance and visual appeal make it a fascinating piece of visual history.
