EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Armed African soldiers going to the assault, 1883" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The illustration, created by Albert Robida for his anticipation book "The twentieth century, novel of a Parisian after tomorrow" in 1883, offers a thought-provoking reversal of colonization. In this powerful image, we witness an army of African soldiers marching towards battle. Their determined faces reflect both courage and resilience as they confront their colonial oppressors. This depiction challenges the prevailing narrative of European dominance during that era. Robida's illustration serves as a visual representation of Africa's struggle for liberation from colonial rule. It symbolizes the resistance and determination exhibited by Africans against their colonizers. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and tension on the battlefield through intricate details and precise engraving techniques. As we observe this historical scene unfold before our eyes, it is impossible not to ponder the complexities surrounding colonization and its impact on societies across continents. This artwork invites us to question power dynamics, challenge preconceived notions about Africa's role in history, and acknowledge the strength displayed by those who fought for freedom. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment where armed African soldiers defy expectations and march forward with unwavering bravery towards an uncertain future.
