EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Les restes de l'ancien fort de Medine Pres de Kayes; L'Ouest Africain, 1914," captures the ruins of the old fort of Medine near Kayes, Mali. The image is from the French publication "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" of 1914. The fort, a remnant of colonial rule in Africa, stands proudly on the riverbank of the Senegal River in the Sahel region of West Africa. The image offers a glimpse into the 19th and early 20th century, when European powers, including France, established colonies and fortifications across the continent. The fort's crumbling walls and weathered appearance tell a story of a bygone era, a time when the world was being mapped and claimed by European powers. The photograph's composition, with the river in the foreground and the fort in the background, adds to the sense of history and nostalgia. The image also highlights the unique beauty of the African landscape, with its vast, open spaces and natural features. Today, the ruins of the fort serve as a reminder of the complex and often turbulent history of Africa, and the enduring impact of colonialism on the continent and its people.
