EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a map of the French Overseas Territory of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, with an inset portrait of the renowned French military leader, Joseph Simon Gallieni. Gallieni (1849-1916) is infamously known in Madagascar for his role as the French military commander who exiled Queen Ranavalona III and abolished the 350-year-old monarchy on the island. The map, dated circa 1920, highlights the various regions and key cities of Madagascar, including Tananarive (now Antananarivo, the capital city), Tamatave (now Toamasina), and Diego Suarez. Gallieni's portrait, displayed in the lower right corner, depicts him wearing his military uniform and bearing a cap adorned with a compass rose. Gallieni's military career began in Algeria, where he distinguished himself during the French conquest of that country. He later served in Indochina and Madagascar, where he played a pivotal role in the suppression of the Madagascar revolt of 1897. The map and portrait serve as a testament to Gallieni's significant impact on the French colonies in Africa and the Indian Ocean. The map's intricate details include topographical features, political boundaries, and various points of interest. The compass rose and other navigational symbols emphasize the importance of maritime exploration and trade in the region. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of French colonialism and the administration of Madagascar during the early 20th century.
