EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, capturing a snapshot of the bustling wharf in French West Africa (AOF). The image showcases a fleet of motorized boats employed by Europeans for their travels along the Ivory Coast. AOF, established in 1895, was a federation that united eight French colonies in West Africa: Mauritania, Senegal, Niger, Mali (formerly French Sudan), Guinea (formerly French Guinea), Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta), and Benin (formerly Dahomey). The general view presented here offers an intriguing glimpse into the colonial era. The small boats lined up on the river depict both transportation means and symbols of power during this period. Against the backdrop of an enchanting African landscape, one can't help but ponder upon the complex dynamics between Europe and its African territories. This historical illustration not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how colonialism shaped these lands. It invites contemplation on themes such as cultural exchange, exploitation, and resistance. AFP's dedication to documenting significant moments from around the world is evident through this thought-provoking photograph. As we gaze at this remarkable piece captured by AFP photographers decades ago, we are transported to an era where European influence permeated every aspect of life in AOF.
