EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Attaque d un convoi par les Fahavolos" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The vibrant colours of the lithograph by Louis Charles Bombled bring to life an intense scene from the Franco-Hova Wars in Madagascar. The image depicts a daring attack on a convoy, highlighting the perilous nature of colonial expeditions during this time. As we gaze upon the print, we can almost feel the tension and chaos that unfolded on that fateful day. Bombled's artwork was created as an illustration for "La Guerre a Madagascar" written by H Galli and published in 1897. This historical account sheds light on France's campaign in Madagascar, showcasing both its ambitions for expansion and the resistance faced from local forces. Through this image, we gain insight into French colonialism and its impact on territories like Madagascar. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between colonizers and those fighting for their independence. As we delve into this piece, it is essential to appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its historical significance. The print captures not only an attack but also represents larger themes such as war, campaigns, and cultural clashes. By preserving this visual record through photography prints like these, we ensure that these stories are not forgotten or overlooked. They serve as powerful reminders of our shared past and encourage us to reflect upon our present-day attitudes towards colonization and imperialism.
