Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print captures an important event that took place in Madagascar during that time. The image showcases a group of Malagasy soldiers taking their military oath with utmost determination and pride. Dressed in traditional attire, these brave men stand tall and resolute as they pledge their loyalty to their country and commit themselves to protect it at all costs. The engraving beautifully depicts the vibrant colors of their clothing, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Madagascar. The spears held firmly in their hands symbolize both strength and defense, emphasizing their readiness for battle if necessary.
