The cover of Le Petit Journal from 26th June 1898 showcases this remarkable scene, captured by the skilled lens of the French School. In vivid color lithography, we witness General Gallieni's unwavering bravery and determination as he fires his weapon at point-blank range.

The image evokes mixed emotions - admiration for Gallieni's courage and critical reflection on the consequences of imperialism. It invites us to ponder upon the complexities surrounding colonization and its impact on both colonizers and colonized.
