EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the First Franco-Hova War, taken between 1883 and 1886, showcases a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts French troops fearlessly launching an attack on Marvoay, as they strive to assert their dominance over Madagascar. The intensity of the battle is palpable, with soldiers clad in traditional Solar Topee helmets charging forward amidst billowing smoke and chaos. The war ultimately came to a close with the signing of the Treaty of Tamatave in January 1886. This agreement marked a significant turning point for both France and Madagascar, shaping the course of their future relationship. It solidified France's ambitions for colonization while also highlighting the resistance put up by Malagassy forces. As an art form itself, this chromolithograph trade card serves as a visual reminder of not only historical events but also advertising techniques prevalent during that era. Its vibrant colors and intricate details capture attention and invite viewers to delve deeper into understanding this chapter in history. Through this powerful image, we are transported back to a time when nations clashed over territorial control and resources.
