EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le guet-apens de Marosakoa" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Louis Charles Bombled, this colour lithograph depicts a scene from the Franco-Hova Wars during the French colonization of Madagascar. The image showcases an intense expedition led by French forces, battling against the native Hova people. The soldiers are seen swimming through treacherous waters, armed with spears and ready for combat. However, unbeknownst to them, they have fallen into a cleverly laid trap set by the Marosakoa tribe. The composition is filled with tension and anticipation as we witness the impending attack on the unsuspecting swimmers. It serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced during colonial campaigns and highlights both the bravery of those involved and the resistance put up by indigenous communities. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for "La Guerre à Madagascar" written by H Galli and illustrated by L Bombled in 1897. Its inclusion in this publication aimed to provide readers with visual representations of these historical events. As we observe this print today, it offers us a glimpse into France's colonial past while also serving as a testament to artistic talent and storytelling through visual mediums.
