EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "La mission Lenfant: arrival of the Mission on the shores of Lake Chad" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Published in "Le Petit Parisien" on January 17,1904, this image captures the essence of early twentieth-century colonialism. In this photograph, taken by Andrieux and Crespin, we witness a scene filled with anticipation and curiosity. The French mission led by Lenfant arrives at the sandy shores of Lake Chad in Africa. The missionaries stand tall against the backdrop of vast sand dunes and shimmering waters. This image symbolizes France's imperial ambitions during that era. It reflects their desire to expand their influence across continents and establish control over distant lands. The presence of French officials on African soil signifies an attempt to bring civilization and Christianity to these foreign territories. The composition beautifully portrays the meeting point between two cultures – French and African. It invites contemplation about power dynamics, cultural exchange, and historical consequences that unfolded as a result of colonialism. Leonard de Selva's preservation of this remarkable piece allows us to delve into our shared past while acknowledging its complexities. As we explore this photograph from the early twentieth century, it serves as a reminder for reflection on our present-day world and how it has been shaped by events like those captured here.
