EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph captures the essence of France's influence on Morocco in the early 20th century. The image, titled "France providing civilisation, wealth and peace to Morocco" graced the illustrated title page of Le Petit Journal on November 19,1911. The artwork depicts an allegorical scene where France is portrayed as a benevolent figure bringing civilization, wealth, and peace to Morocco. Symbolizing this relationship are various elements such as Marianne, the personification of France, holding a torch representing enlightenment and progress. Meanwhile, Moroccan figures stand beside her with expressions of gratitude and admiration. The colors used in this lithograph add depth and vibrancy to the composition. The warm hues evoke a sense of harmony between these two nations while highlighting their cultural richness. During this period in history, colonialism was prevalent across Africa. This artwork reflects both French pride in their colonial endeavors and their belief that they were bringing progress to regions like North Africa. The image also speaks to notions of patriotism and nationalism prevalent at that time. It portrays France as a homeland for its citizens who were proud patriots spreading their culture abroad. Overall, this lithograph serves as a visual representation of the complex dynamics between colonizer and colonized during the early 20th century. It invites viewers to reflect on historical narratives surrounding imperialism while appreciating the artistic beauty captured within it.
