EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fahavalos pillant une case malgache" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The colour lithograph, created by Louis Charles Bombled and part of a private collection, transports us to the Franco-Hova Wars in Madagascar. The image depicts a scene of expeditions and pillaging during this campaign. A group of French soldiers can be seen examining a traditional Malagasy house, their eyes filled with curiosity and perhaps even mischief. This snapshot captures the complexities of colonialism as it unfolds on foreign soil. The soldiers' attire reflects their French identity, dressed in summer clothes suited for warmer climates. Their presence signifies France's pursuit of power and control over its overseas territories during this era. As we delve into the historical context surrounding this artwork, we are reminded of the conflicts that arose from colonization. The theft and pillage depicted here symbolize the struggles faced by indigenous communities at the hands of imperial powers. Louis Charles Bombled's lithograph was originally published as an illustration for "La Guerre à Madagascar" by H Galli with illustrations by L Bombled in 1897. Through this powerful visual representation, we gain insight into both sides of this tumultuous chapter in history – one marked by conquests and resistance. This print serves as a poignant reminder that art has the ability to transport us through time while shedding light on important historical events that have shaped our world today.
