EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fantassins hovas embusques" takes us back to the era of colonialism and war in Madagascar. Created by Louis Charles Bombled, a renowned artist from the late 19th century, this colour lithograph captures a pivotal moment during the Franco-Hova Wars. The image showcases French soldiers, known as Fantassins Hovas Embusques, skillfully concealed and ready for an ambush. The vibrant colours bring life to their uniforms and surroundings, immersing us in the intensity of their expeditionary campaign. This artwork was originally featured in "La Guerre a Madagascar" written by H Galli with illustrations by L Bombled and published in 1897. It serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression of France's involvement in Madagascar's colonization. Through this print, we glimpse into the complexities of French colonialism at that time. It symbolizes not only military campaigns but also cultural exchange between France and its overseas territories. The image invites contemplation on themes such as power dynamics, imperialism, and the impact of war on both colonizers and colonized. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let it remind us of our shared history while encouraging critical reflection on past events. This photograph is a testament to how art can preserve moments that shape nations and cultures alike.
