EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L'Assiette au beurre: situation in Morocco, 1903" by Moriss takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image portrays the complex political landscape of Morocco during the early 20th century when major European powers vied for control over this North African nation. In this satirical drawing, we witness a game-like scenario where colonial predators from France, Spain, Germany, and the United Kingdom compete for dominance over Morocco. The artist cleverly depicts these nations as animals - rabbits or hares - discarding their prey between the Sahara Desert, Atlantic Ocean, and Mediterranean Sea. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring attention to the intensity of this struggle for power and resources. It serves as a thought-provoking commentary on colonialism and its impact on Africa's history. Morocco itself is depicted as an innocent farm animal caught up in this geopolitical battle. This portrayal highlights how African nations were often seen as pawns in larger international conflicts during that era. Through this historical newspaper illustration from "L'Assiette au beurre" we gain insight into the complexities of Moroccan politics at that time. It also reminds us of the rich Arab civilization present within North Africa's Maghreb region. Overall, Patrice Cartier's print captures both artistic brilliance and historical significance through its depiction of power struggles and colonial dynamics in early 20th-century Morocco.
