"Little Red Riding Hood or France losing Fachoda to England" is an illustrated title page from "Le Petit Journal," dated 20th November 1898, created by artists Oswaldo Tofani and F.L. Meaulle. This illustration captures a pivotal moment in colonial history, allegorically representing the Fashoda Incident, a significant colonial confrontation between France and Britain. The image employs the familiar narrative of Little Red Riding Hood to symbolize the political tensions and the eventual British dominance in the Fashoda crisis, which was a climax of imperial territorial disputes between the two nations and nearly led to war.

The artwork was published during a time when illustrated journals like "Le Petit Journal" were a primary source of news and information for the public, often using vivid illustrations to capture the essence of current events. Tofani, an Italian illustrator, and Meaulle, a French illustrator, collaborated on this piece, which reflects the period's artistic and journalistic practices of using metaphor and allegory to comment on political affairs.

The illustration is significant not only for its artistic value but also for its historical context, as it provides insight into the public perception and media portrayal of the Fashoda Incident. The choice of Little Red Riding Hood as a metaphor underscores the perceived innocence and vulnerability of France in the face of British imperialism, while also reflecting the broader European colonial narrative of the time.

This image is an important artifact of the era, offering a visual representation of the tensions between two of the world's superpowers at the brink of the 20th century. It stands as a testament to the role of art in documenting and interpreting historical events, as well as the power of visual media to influence public opinion and national sentiment.
