"The Capture of Toure Samory (1835-1900) by Lieutenant Jacquin near Guelemou in 1898" is a historical illustration by Henri Meyer, published in the French newspaper Le Petit Journal on October 30, 1898. The artwork depicts the significant event of the capture of Samory Touré, a prominent West African military leader and founder of the Wassoulou Empire, which resisted French colonial expansion in West Africa. The illustration is a vivid representation of the colonial encounters and conflicts of the late 19th century, showcasing the moment when Lieutenant Jacquin, a French military officer, successfully apprehended Samory Touré near Guelemou on September 29, 1898.

Henri Meyer, the artist behind the illustration, was known for his work as an illustrator for Le Petit Journal, a widely circulated French newspaper that often included supplements featuring colorful illustrations of current events. Meyer's work played a significant role in informing and shaping public opinion about the events of the day, including France's colonial exploits. The capture of Samory Touré was a notable event in the history of French colonialism, marking the end of resistance by one of the most powerful and persistent opponents to French rule in West Africa.

The illustration is not only an important historical record but also serves as a reflection of the colonial attitudes and perspectives of the time. It is a valuable resource for historians and scholars studying the era of European imperialism and its impact on West Africa. The image is often used to complement academic discussions on the resistance to colonial rule and the eventual fall of indigenous empires to European powers.
