EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Joffre, the esteemed commander of the French forces in Sudan during the late 19th century. The image captures a momentous event that occurred on March 23,1894, when Joffre confronted the Tuareg tribes known as "Tengereguif" between the lakes of Goro and Fati in what is now Mali. In this historical encounter, Joffre successfully reclaimed weapons that had been looted by these tribes during an earlier conflict known as the goundam affair. Not only did he retrieve these valuable armaments but also managed to capture all their horses and camels. However, this triumph came at a heavy cost for the Tuareg people, with nearly 120 casualties reported. The engraving of this significant event was featured in "Le petit journal" on April 30,1894. Preserved within a private collection belonging to Leonard de Selva, this photograph provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter in colonial history. Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Joffre's leadership skills and strategic prowess are evident through his successful military campaign against the Tengereguif tribe. This print serves as a testament to his determination and unwavering commitment to maintaining French control over Sudan (French Sudan) during this period. As we admire this historic image captured by an unknown artist from the 19th century, let us reflect upon Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Joffre's legacy as one of France's most influential military leaders in Africa.
