Avec Lyautey, de Nancy à Rabat #[nn]

A handsome historical bande dessinée from Les Éditions du Triomphe's "Le Vent de l'Histoire" collection, this album by Philippe Cenci and Louis-Bernard Koch traces the remarkable journey suggested by its subtitle — from Nancy to Rabat. The cover sets the tone beautifully: two riders on horseback pause before the towering red-ochre walls of a North African kasbah, one figure in a flowing white djellaba and another in a French military uniform gesturing toward the architecture, the vivid blue sky framing the scene with warmth. It's a visually compelling invitation into a world where French colonial history and Moroccan culture intersect, rendered with clean, accessible artwork well-suited to the 2007 Franco-Belgian tradition of historical comics.
