EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the early 20th century, titled "French colony: France will be able to carry civilization, wealth and peace freely to Morocco" captures the spirit of colonialism prevalent during that time. Published in Le Petit Journal on November 19,1911, this image showcases a powerful allegory of French influence in North Africa. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the vision of France as a beacon of progress and enlightenment. The central figure is Marianne, symbolizing the French Republic, adorned with symbols of liberty and equality. With her confident gaze and outstretched arm holding a torch, she represents France's mission to bring civilization and prosperity to Morocco. In the background lies an idyllic Moroccan landscape bathed in warm hues, depicting harmony between two cultures. This portrayal highlights France's desire for peaceful coexistence while asserting its dominance as a colonial power. The artwork reflects both patriotism and nationalism prevalent at that time. It embodies the belief that colonization was not only justified but also necessary for spreading European values across continents. As we delve into history through this lithograph by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, it serves as a reminder of how perceptions have evolved over time regarding imperialism and its consequences.
