The Joalland Mission, with the Remains of Colonel Klobb, Captain Cazemajou, and Interpreter Olive, at the Niger
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This haunting lithograph by Louis Remy Sabattier captures a somber moment in history. The image depicts the aftermath of the ill-fated Joalland Mission in West Africa during the 19th century. In this scene, we see the remains of Colonel Klobb, Captain Cazemajou, and Interpreter Olive laid to rest on the banks of the Niger River. The mission led by Paul Joalland and Jean Francois Klobb was an ambitious endeavor to explore uncharted territories and establish trade routes. However, it met a tragic end as disease and hostile encounters took their toll on these brave explorers. Sabattier's black-and-white engraving evokes a sense of solemnity as it portrays a poignant moment amidst untamed wilderness. The composition draws attention to each figure's final resting place while also capturing the vastness and mystery of West Africa. This print serves as a historical document that reminds us of both the courage and sacrifice exhibited by those who ventured into unknown lands. It invites contemplation about human exploration throughout time – its triumphs but also its tragedies. Displayed within private collections today, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its powerful narrative. Through Sabattier's skilled handiwork, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in colonial history that should never be forgotten.
