EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "La canonniere La Brave" a stunning paddle steamer that played a significant role in the Franco-Hova Wars during the late 19th century. The colour lithograph, created by Louis Charles Bombled and featured in the book "La Guerre a Madagascar" by H Galli with illustrations by L Bombled, captures the essence of this historical campaign. The image transports us to Madagascar, where French colonialism was at its peak. The boat stands tall and proud, symbolizing France's expeditionary spirit and determination to expand its empire. As we gaze upon this magnificent vessel, we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that must have filled the air during those times of war. The print not only represents an important chapter in history but also serves as a testament to France's transportation advancements. La Brave served as both a tugboat and passenger transport, highlighting its versatility and importance for communication between colonies. As we delve into this artwork, it is impossible not to reflect on the complexities of colonialism and its impact on different cultures. This print offers us an opportunity to explore French culture through their overseas departments and territories while acknowledging the darker aspects associated with imperialism. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece from their Fine Art Finder collection that invites viewers to contemplate history through artistry.
