EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the War of the Rif, a colonial war between the tribes of northern Morocco and the French and Spanish armies. The image depicts the victorious Spanish army led by Berenguer in Melilla, Morocco, in July. It is an illustration taken from "Le petit journal illustrious" dated October 30th, 1921. The rebel tribes are seen submitting to the occupants after their defeat. This powerful visual representation showcases not only the military triumph but also sheds light on complex dynamics surrounding colonialism and anticolonialism during that era. The engraving, skillfully executed by Stefano Bianchetti, transports us back to this tumultuous time in North Africa's history. Through his artistry, he brings to life the intensity and emotions experienced during this conflict. As we gaze upon this historical piece, we are reminded of France's presence in Morocco during the early 20th century and its impact on both sides involved. The intricate details within Bianchetti's drawing allow us to appreciate his talent as an engraver while providing insight into one chapter of African history. This print serves as a reminder of how art can capture moments that shape our world and provoke contemplation about past events that continue to influence our present-day understanding.
