EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Bombardment of Salee on the Coast of Morocco, by the French" depicts a historical event that took place in 1851. Created by Antoine Leon Morel-Fatio, this print showcases a dramatic scene where French ships unleash their firepower upon the coastal town of Salee in Morocco. The image captures the intensity and chaos of warfare at sea as bombs rain down upon the unsuspecting town. The artist's attention to detail brings to life the billowing smoke, exploding shells, and towering waves caused by the bombardment. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on December 20th, 1851. The artwork not only serves as a visual record of this particular event but also provides insight into European colonialism during that era. It highlights France's military presence and its efforts to expand its influence beyond Europe's borders. Morel-Fatio skillfully portrays both the destructive power of war and its impact on innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. The print invites viewers to reflect on themes such as imperialism, conflict, and human suffering. As part of private collection today, this engraving continues to serve as a reminder of historical events that shaped our world. Its inclusion within Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection ensures that it remains accessible for educational purposes while preserving an important piece of history captured through artistry.
