EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the late 19th century when colonialism was at its peak. The image features a group of Amazons, warriors, and Dahomean fetishers from present-day Benin. These powerful figures stand tall and proud, exuding strength and resilience. The composition is rich with cultural significance as it showcases the fusion of African traditions with French influence during this period. The Amazons, known for their fierce combat skills and revered status in Dahomey society, are depicted alongside warrior counterparts and fetishers who hold spiritual importance within their community. The setting of the photograph adds another layer of intrigue - the garden of acclimatization. This space served as a meeting point between different cultures and allowed for an exchange of ideas and practices. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography captures every intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate the intricate patterns on their garments and the determination etched onto their faces. It serves as a reminder that even in times marked by colonization, there were individuals who fought to preserve their heritage and identity. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, we are reminded not only of the complex dynamics between France and Africa but also of the enduring spirit that continues to shape our world today.
