EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait depicts Major Jean-Baptiste Marchand (1863-1934), a renowned French general and explorer, best known for his role in the Fashoda Incident in Sudan during the late 1890s. The image, taken around the turn of the 20th century, is from "Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX," published by Cassell and Company, Limited, in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne. Marchand is shown wearing the uniform of a French colonel, complete with a kepi, or peaked cap, and a series of medals adorning his chest. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and resolve. The background is simple, with a plain, dark backdrop that allows the subject to stand out. The Fashoda Incident, also known as the Fashoda Crisis, was a significant event in the history of European imperialism and the scramble for Africa. In 1898, Marchand led a French expeditionary force to occupy the Sudanese town of Fashoda, which was then under British control. The incident led to a diplomatic crisis between France and Britain, as both powers vied for influence and control in the region. Ultimately, the crisis was resolved through diplomacy, with the British recognizing French control over the Upper Nile region in exchange for French recognition of British control over Egypt. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a pivotal moment in history and the man who played a key role in shaping it. The image is a testament to the enduring power of photography to preserve and convey historical narratives.
