EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Un obus francais tombe sur le Palais de la Reine" depicts a significant moment during the Franco-Hova Wars in Madagascar. Created by Louis Charles Bombled, this colour lithograph showcases the destructive power of war and its impact on colonial territories. Intriguingly, the image captures an explosive moment as a French bombshell strikes the majestic Palais de la Reine (Queen's Palace). The composition is both visually striking and historically significant, representing France's military campaign in their pursuit of control over Madagascar. This artwork was originally published as an illustration for "La Guerre a Madagascar" by H. Galli with illustrations by L. Bombled in 1897. It serves as a reminder of the turbulent times when European powers sought to expand their influence through colonization. The lithograph not only highlights the brutality of war but also sheds light on French colonialism and its far-reaching consequences. It symbolizes France's efforts to establish dominance over overseas territories while showcasing the destructive nature of conflict. As we reflect upon this powerful image, we are reminded of Europe's complex history marked by expeditions, campaigns, and colonies. This photograph print stands as a testament to human resilience amidst turmoil and invites us to contemplate our shared past within the context of present-day global dynamics.
