EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "In Algeria, a battalion organized by a whole battalion of Zouaves" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the military operations in North Africa. The image showcases an engraving from "Le petit journal" dated December 23rd, 1893, part of the Selvas collection. This historical artwork depicts a significant event where a battalion of Zouaves and cavalry join forces to capture Areski ben Bashir. Notably, Ben Bashir had been sentenced to death three times by the Algiers court, making his capture crucial for justice to prevail. The composition beautifully captures the essence of French colonialism in Algeria during this era. It highlights the strength and determination of both African and French troops as they unite against common adversaries. The vibrant colors used in this engraving bring life to every detail - from the uniforms worn by soldiers to their weapons and horses. Through this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in Algerian history. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between colonizers and colonized peoples while shedding light on the bravery exhibited by those involved in military operations. Leonard de Selva's skillful portrayal ensures that this piece remains not only visually striking but also historically significant. This artwork is undoubtedly an invaluable addition to any private collection or exhibition dedicated to exploring Africa's rich past and its interactions with European powers like France.
