EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Vue generale de Marovoay" transports us back in time to the era of French colonialism in Madagascar. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this lithograph, created by Louis Charles Bombled, beautifully depict a panoramic view of Marovoay. The image showcases the grandeur and vastness of the landscape, with lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. It is evident that this was taken during an expedition or campaign, as there are signs of military presence scattered throughout the scene. Marovoay holds historical significance due to its involvement in the Franco-Hova Wars, a series of conflicts between France and local Malagasy tribes known as Hovas. This lithograph was originally featured in "La Guerre a Madagascar" written by H. Galli and illustrated by L. Bombled. As we admire this print, we gain insight into both French culture and their overseas territories at that time. It serves as a reminder of how colonial powers shaped nations through conquests and expeditions. This particular piece is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance within the context of French colonization efforts in Madagascar.
