EDITORS COMMENTS
The Death of Commandant Lamy, Battle of Kousseri, 22nd April 1900" is a powerful and evocative illustration captured by artist Oswaldo Tofani. This artwork, originally published in Le Petit Journal on 19th August 1900, transports us back to the intense chaos and brutality of the battle that took place at Kousseri. In this striking image, we witness the tragic demise of Commandant Lamy as he valiantly leads his troops into combat. Mounted on a majestic white horse, he charges fearlessly towards the enemy lines. The intensity of the moment is palpable as bullets fly through the air and bayonets gleam menacingly. Tofani's skillful use of color brings an added layer of emotion to this scene. The vibrant hues highlight both the heroism and horror unfolding before our eyes. Amidst all this turmoil, we see Lamy's unwavering determination etched upon his face – a testament to his commitment to duty until his last breath. This engraving not only captures a significant historical event but also serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of war. It immortalizes Commandant Lamy's bravery while paying homage to all those who have fought for their countries throughout history. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a solemn reminder that war leaves no one untouched – man or beast alike - forever etching its mark on both individuals and nations alike.
