EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nouba des turcos a Tananarive" transports us back to the era of French colonialism in Madagascar. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this colour litho by Louis Charles Bombled (1862-1927) beautifully depict a scene from the Franco-Hova Wars. The image showcases an expeditionary band, led by Algerians, as they march through the streets of Tananarive, the capital city of Madagascar. The rhythmic beats of their drums echo through the air, symbolizing both power and unity. This snapshot captures a moment in history when France sought to expand its influence and establish control over this exotic island. The illustration originally appeared in "La Guerre a Madagascar" written by H Galli with illustrations by L Bombled in 1897. It offers viewers an insight into the campaigns and battles that took place during this turbulent period. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the complexities surrounding colonization - both its triumphs and its consequences. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures clashed during these expeditions while also highlighting aspects of French culture that were exported overseas. This print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing thanks to Bridgeman Images' efforts to preserve and share historical artwork like this one.
