EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the departure of the French alpine hunters in Marseille aboard the Chaouia, bound for Morocco. The year is 1912, and Morocco has recently become a French protectorate following the signing of the Fes (Fez) treaty. Published in "Le Petite Journal" on September 15th, this illustration showcases an important moment in history. The image portrays a group of determined soldiers boarding the ship, ready to embark on their mission. Their uniforms and equipment speak volumes about their role as protectors and enforcers of colonialism. The engraving beautifully captures both the strength and vulnerability of these men as they set sail towards unknown territories. The artist's skillful hand brings life to every detail - from the expressions on their faces to the intricate lines that define each figure. This print serves as a testament to not only Stefano Bianchetti's talent but also his ability to convey historical significance through art. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time, witnessing a pivotal moment in France's military history. It reminds us of how nations have shaped world events through colonization and expansionism. This artwork stands as a reminder of our past while urging us to reflect upon its implications for our present and future.
