"Exploring the Legacy of Colonisation: From Shenyang to Algiers" In this captivating journey through history, we delve into the intricate web of colonisation that shaped nations and cultures across the globe. Our first stop takes us to the South Manchurian Railway Company Hospital in Shenyang, China, a testament to the influence of foreign powers on distant lands. Next, we witness Queen Victoria's visit to the South Australian Court at the Colonial Exhibition, a vivid portrayal of imperial grandeur and its impact on far-flung territories. The accompanying scene showcases Aborigines from Victoria, shedding light on their lives amidst colonial rule as depicted in The Illustrated London News. As our exploration continues, we witness Charles Lavigerie's arrival in Algiers as its new Archbishop. This momentous occasion marks France's presence in North Africa and highlights how religion intertwined with colonial expansion. Moving further afield, we encounter Kls Baster Camp and J. Slaber's encampment at Thee-Fontyn. These glimpses into voyages within Africa offer insights into European exploration during an era when vast stretches of land were being claimed by various powers. The Fort of Goree stands tall as a symbol of French dominance along West Africa's coast. Its vibrant colors breathe life into Le Petit Journal’s title page capturing In-Salah adorned with the French flag - an emblematic image representing territorial conquests during 1900. Louis Antoine de Bougainville emerges as a remarkable figure - soldier, navigator, mathematician - embodying France’s spirit of adventure during times when colonies were established across continents. Italy’s colonisation efforts are celebrated through an intriguing fascist poster commemorating Tripoli Fair XIII – a stark reminder that Libya was once under Italian control; reminding us how power dynamics shape societies both near and far. Nature too bears traces of colonisation; captured beautifully is Sardinian Warbler perched upon a twig, its song echoing through a landscape forever altered by human intervention.
