EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense violence in the Sahara near Timbuktu, Mali. Taken from "Le petit journal" on October 21,1923, this illustration depicts a group of Meharists - camel-mounted soldiers - under attack by armed rebels. The image transports us to the vast desert landscape as we witness the chaos unfolding before our eyes. The Meharists, dressed in traditional African attire, bravely defend themselves against their assailants while mounted on their loyal camels. The tension is palpable as both sides engage in a fierce battle for survival. The engraving technique used adds depth and texture to the scene, enhancing its dramatic impact. Each stroke of the artist's hand brings life to this historical event that unfolded almost a century ago. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by those who traversed these treacherous lands during that time period. It serves as a testament to the resilience and courage exhibited by individuals caught up in conflicts beyond their control. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful portrayal not only captures an important moment in history but also highlights his talent as an accomplished draughtsman and engraver. This print stands as a powerful reminder of Africa's rich cultural heritage and its complex relationship with violence throughout history.
