This engraving, titled "French Soldiers during war in Madagascar in 1895" offers a glimpse into a significant historical event. Created by the French School in the 19th century, it portrays an intense battle scene during the Second Madagascar expedition. The image showcases brave soldiers clad in military uniforms, standing resolute on the African battlefield. Their determined expressions and poised stances reflect their commitment to their mission. As they engage with unseen adversaries, one can almost feel the tension and adrenaline coursing through their veins. This engraving not only captures a moment of conflict but also symbolizes an era of colonialism and imperialism.
