EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print captures a pivotal moment in history - the attack on a French convoy in the region of Figuig, Morocco. Taken from an engraving by Carrey, this image was originally published in "Le Petit Parisien" on April 19th, 1903. The scene is filled with tension as war tribes launch their assault on the unsuspecting convoy. The intricate details etched into the engraving bring to life the chaos and violence that unfolded during this encounter. French soldiers can be seen bravely defending themselves against their Moroccan adversaries, guns blazing and battle-ready. The significance of this event lies not only in its military context but also in its portrayal of colonialism and conflict between nations. It serves as a reminder of France's presence in North Africa during the early 20th century and sheds light on the complex dynamics between European powers and Arab civilizations. Preserved within a private collection, this print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era. Leonard de Selva's careful documentation ensures that we can still appreciate these historical moments today. As we study this image, let us reflect upon the impact of war, colonization, and cultural exchange throughout history - themes that continue to shape our world even now.
