EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of "General Gordon" transports us to the 19th century, where colonialists embarked on daring adventures in Africa. The French School beautifully captures the essence of this era, showcasing General Gordon as a symbol of bravery and courage. The image is an illustration for the children's book "Les Heros de L Afrique" published around 1890 by J Lebegue. It depicts General Gordon, a renowned figure in colonial history, who ventured into the mysterious and unexplored African continent. However, it is important to acknowledge that this artwork also reflects racial stereotypes prevalent during that time. The portrayal of Africans may perpetuate preconceptions and biases held by white men towards the so-called "dark continent". Despite these historical complexities, this print encourages us to appreciate the spirit of adventure and discovery that characterized colonialism. It invites viewers to reflect upon both the positive aspects - such as encouraging good courage among young readers - as well as its negative consequences. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this piece from Bridgeman Images captures a significant chapter in our shared history. It serves as a reminder of how art can provoke discussions about past events while challenging our present-day perspectives on race, colonization, and cultural exchange.
