EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Moroccan horsemen riding into the sea to shoot at French warships" depicts a powerful moment in history. The color lithograph, created by Carrey in the early 20th century, showcases a dramatic clash between Moroccan horsemen and French warships off the coast of Casablanca. The image captures a pivotal event during which riots erupted as locals attacked the French who were constructing a light railway near the port. In response, the French landed troops to suppress the unrest and gain control over Casablanca. This illustration was originally published in Le Petit Parisien on September 1st, 1907. The scene is filled with intensity as Moroccan horsemen fearlessly ride their horses into the sea, armed and ready to engage with the imposing French warships. It symbolizes resistance against colonialism and highlights Morocco's fight for independence. The composition beautifully portrays both sides of this conflict – on one hand, we witness the might of France's navy with its formidable warships; on the other hand, we see brave Moroccan cavalry charging fearlessly towards them. This historic moment serves as a reminder of North Africa's struggle against foreign powers and stands as an emblematic representation of courage and determination. The image also reflects upon themes such as warfare, colonialism, national identity, and cultural clashes. Overall, this striking artwork offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in history while showcasing Carrey's artistic talent through his skillful use of color lithography techniques.
