EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Blessing of the Flags in Paris before the Departure of the Colonists for Algeria in 1843" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by an anonymous French School artist from the 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases a scene filled with anticipation and patriotism. The image depicts a bustling crowd gathered along the banks of River Seine in Paris. The occasion is marked by a grand benediction ceremony, as flags are blessed before being carried away by colonists embarking on their journey to Algeria. The atmosphere is electric, with cheers echoing through the air and steamboats dotting the river. Intriguingly, this print originates from Prosper Enfantin et les grandes entreprises du XIXe siècle by H. R. d'Allemagne, published in Paris during 1835. It offers us a glimpse into France's colonial history and its ambitious empire-building efforts during that era. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how nations were driven to expand their influence beyond borders. This image encapsulates both excitement and trepidation felt by those departing for new lands while symbolizing national pride and unity. Preserved within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this remarkable piece evokes curiosity about our shared past and invites contemplation on the complexities surrounding colonization.
