Monument to Jean-Baptiste Marchand, Paris
has description | a une description
The monument is a 12-metre-long wall, tiered into three steps rising from left to right to a height of 4.30 metres.
To the left: a bas-relief depicts a line of 11 marchers, with the Europeans at the head of the line. The mission doctor is seated on a low stool, treating a soldier. A European waits beside him, keeping an eye on the column. The itinerary, marked with place names, is engraved above the column. Plants appear between the figures.
Right: the statue of Marchand is detached from the monument, raised and oversized in relation to the others. Bareheaded, arms folded, he stands facing the viewer, guarding the flagpole and shield, both in bronze. This statue was damaged and removed in 1983.
The names of all the Europeans and the number of African soldiers are engraved on the shield.
