EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Goumiers commanded by Lieutenant Lapostolle capturing the rebel Moktar Boutchich in Morocco" depicts a significant moment in history. The image showcases the power and determination of the Goumiers, irregular North African soldiers attached to the French Army, as they capture one of the most dangerous agitators, Moktar Boutchich. The scene is filled with action and motion, as cavalrymen on horseback surround their captive. The blurred motion adds intensity to the image, emphasizing the swift and decisive nature of this conquest. It is a testament to both military strategy and colonialism during this era. Morocco's landscape serves as a backdrop for this historical event. As horses gallop across its terrain, it symbolizes not only conquest but also resistance against unrest in North Africa. This powerful lithograph was created by an anonymous 20th-century French artist and has been preserved in a private collection. Its publication in Le Petit Parisien (Supplement Litteraire Illustre) on January 19th, 1908 further highlights its significance at that time. Through this photo print, we are transported back to an era where soldiers fought for control over territories while riding on horseback—a reminder of both the bravery displayed by these troops and the complexities surrounding colonial rule.
