EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Spahi, an efficient rider and formidable force in the conquest of Algeria. Serving under France, this skilled horseman detaches at the Arab office, as depicted in this engraving after a drawing by H. Charles. The image was originally published in the tour du monde magazine in 1880, Paris. The Spahi's presence exudes power and dread, symbolizing the colonialism prevalent during that era. This artwork aims to illustrate the story of Tebessa and its monuments in Algeria, written by A. Heron de Villefosse. The Selva Collection has preserved this historical piece from French School artists of the 19th century. It offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of African history – North Africa specifically – where military forces played crucial roles. The image not only highlights the bravery and skill of these riders but also sheds light on Arab civilization within Algeria during this period. The horses featured add an element of wildlife to the scene while emphasizing their significance as farm animals used for transportation and warfare. Leonard de Selva's photograph captures every intricate detail with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate both artistic mastery and historical context. As it is now out of copyright, this remarkable piece serves as a valuable resource for those interested in exploring military history or studying African colonialism.
