EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Femmes malgaches" transports us to the heart of Madagascar during a significant period in history. Created by Louis Charles Bombled, a renowned artist from the late 19th century, this colour lithograph offers a glimpse into the lives and culture of Malagasy women. The image is part of an illustration for "La Guerre a Madagascar" (The War in Madagascar) written by H. Galli and featuring illustrations by L. Bombled. Published in 1897, this piece captures the essence of French colonialism and its impact on the island nation. Intriguingly, it depicts women who were actively involved in expeditions and campaigns during the Franco-Hova Wars - conflicts that occurred between France and local Malagasy rulers known as Hovas. These brave women played crucial roles alongside their male counterparts, shaping the outcome of these battles. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, we witness not only historical significance but also cultural richness. It serves as a reminder of France's overseas territories and its influence on different cultures around the world. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this artwork from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical context. This print invites us to reflect upon our past while celebrating diversity and acknowledging the complexities inherent within colonial legacies – all through one captivating visual narrative captured over a century ago.
