EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving depicts the Battle of Dgebe, Dahomey, which took place on 4 October 1892 during the Second Franco-Dahomean War. The print, published by Pellerin & Cie in the late 19th century, offers a vivid glimpse into this historic clash between French forces and the Kingdom of Dahomey. The image showcases a chaotic battlefield scene with soldiers engaged in fierce combat. It portrays the intensity and brutality of warfare as troops confront each other amidst clouds of smoke and flying bullets. The French army's invasion and conquest of Dahomey were part of the larger scramble for Africa during colonial times. Led by General Alfred Amedee Dodds, French marines are seen engaging in close-quarter fighting against African warriors who fiercely defend their land. This visual representation captures not only the military confrontation but also highlights cultural aspects such as traditional African attire worn by some fighters. The Battle of Dgebe was a significant event that shaped history, marking another step towards European dominance over Africa. This print serves as a testament to both the bravery and tragedy experienced on both sides during this conflict. As we observe this artwork today, it reminds us to reflect upon our shared past and learn from it while acknowledging its complexities. It stands as an important historical document that sheds light on France's colonial ambitions and their impact on indigenous cultures like those found in Dahomey (now Benin).
