EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Capture of Samory by Lieutenant Jacquin" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The illustration, originally featured in Le Petit Journal's Supplement illustre on the 30th of October 1898, showcases the dramatic scene of Lieutenant Jacquin apprehending Samory Toure. Samory Toure, the founder of the Wassoulou Empire and a prominent rebel leader, is depicted here being caught by French forces during their colonial campaign in West Africa. Mounted on horseback, Lieutenant Jacquin skillfully captures Samory with an air of determination and triumph. The image transports us to a battlefield where resistance meets colonial power. It symbolizes the clash between two worlds and highlights the struggle for control over African territories during the late 19th century. The horses add an element of dynamism to this historical snapshot. They represent not only tools for warfare but also evoke notions of strength and freedom amidst conflict. As we delve into this photograph's details, it becomes evident that it holds immense historical significance. It serves as a reminder of past struggles while shedding light on France's expansionist ambitions in Africa at that time. This remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection offers us a glimpse into an era marked by rebellion and conquests—a visual testament to humanity's complex relationship with power and its consequences.
