EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Tananarive (Antananarivo), the capital city of Madagascar, in 1895. The artist, F Meaulle, skillfully depicts a bustling street scene filled with architectural marvels and a diverse group of people. In the foreground, we see an army troop consisting mainly of Caucasian soldiers dressed in military uniforms. They stand outside on a shaded balcony overlooking the vibrant street below. A street vendor can be seen selling his wares under an awning, while men go about their daily activities along the road. The image showcases the colonial influence of France during this time period, as evidenced by both the architecture and presence of French troops. It provides a glimpse into life in 19th century Antananarivo, where trade and commerce thrived amidst a backdrop of political tension. The color palette used in this print adds to its allure; warm tones bring out the details of each element captured within it. The engraving technique employed by Meaulle further enhances its artistic appeal. Overall, this historical photograph offers viewers a window into an era long gone but forever preserved through art media. It serves as a testament to Tananarive's rich cultural heritage and invites us to reflect upon Madagascar's complex history shaped by colonialism and warfare.
