Sur la route de Tananarive
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that takes us on a visual journey through the exotic landscapes of Madagascar. Created by Louis Charles Bombled, this print captures the essence of French colonialism in the late 19th century. The image transports us to an era of expeditions and campaigns, as we witness a group of explorers making their way along the road to Tananarive. The lush vegetation and vibrant colours evoke a sense of adventure and discovery. This artwork was originally commissioned for "La Guerre a Madagascar" a book written by H Galli with illustrations by L Bombled. It offers us a glimpse into the Franco-Hova Wars, which were fought between France and local Malagasy tribes during their quest for territorial control. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of France's historical presence in Madagascar and its impact on both cultures. The French flag subtly waving in the background symbolizes colonial power while also representing French culture abroad. With its intricate details and masterful use of colour, "Sur la route de Tananarive" invites us to reflect on the complexities of imperialism and exploration. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document that sheds light on an important chapter in world history.
