EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "War in Morocco" captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the death of General Margallo, the Spanish governor of Melilla. The image depicts the chaos and violence that unfolded during this period of warfare and revolt in Africa. The colour lithograph, created by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century, is part of a private collection. It was originally published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on November 18,1893. Colonialism and its consequences are evident as Moroccan rebels clash with Spanish forces. The First Melillan Campaign and Rif War serve as backdrops to this intense confrontation between two opposing sides. In this particular scene, General Margallo meets his tragic fate amidst the turmoil. Juan Garcia y Margallo's death signifies not only a loss for Spain but also highlights the resilience and determination of Moroccan fighters who rose against foreign occupation. This image encapsulates their struggle for independence and resistance against colonial powers. With its vivid colours and intricate details, this historic photograph transports viewers to North Africa during a time when rebellion was at its peak. It serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost associated with war while shedding light on significant events that shaped Morocco's fight for freedom.
