EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Queen of Mohilla, and her Attendants; A Bird's-eye View of Madagascar,' was created by French photographer M.D Charnay in the 1870s. The image is taken from Henry Walter Bates's 'Illustrated Travels,' published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The photograph depicts an intriguing scene of a Malagasy queen, resplendent in her regal attire, seated on a raised platform amidst her attendants. The queen is veiled, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to her persona. Her attendants, dressed in traditional Malagasy garb, stand around her, some holding fans or other accessories. The background of the photograph reveals a bustling Malagasy village, with thatched huts and people going about their daily chores. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the indigenous people of Madagascar during the late 19th century. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Madagascar and the Malagasy people. The queen's regal bearing and the attire of her attendants reflect the unique blend of African and Asian influences that characterize Malagasy culture. The photograph also underscores the importance of traditional roles and occupations in Malagasy society, with the queen and her attendants representing the monarch and her court. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, providing insights into the lives and customs of people from a bygone era. It is a reminder of the diversity and richness of human culture and history, and a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve moments in time.
