EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant colors of "Le drapeau du 200e" come to life in this stunning lithograph by Louis Charles Bombled. This print, part of a private collection, captures the essence of French colonialism and its expeditions in Madagascar. The flag depicted in the artwork represents the 200th campaign or expedition undertaken by France during the Franco-Hova Wars. It symbolizes both power and conquest as France sought to expand its influence over Madagascar, then a colony. Bombled's intricate illustration was originally created for "La Guerre a Madagascar" a book written by H Galli with illustrations by Bombled himself. Published in 1897, this historical account sheds light on an important chapter in French history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to an era when banners like these represented not only war but also national pride. The standard proudly displays the colors of France - blue, white, and red - reminding us of the enduring spirit that drove these campaigns forward. This lithograph serves as a reminder of France's rich colonial past and its impact on countries like Madagascar. It is through art that we can explore different facets of history and gain insight into cultures far removed from our own. With every brushstroke meticulously executed, Bombled has immortalized this momentous event for generations to come. Let us appreciate his talent and reflect upon the complexities inherent in colonization while admiring this exceptional work from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection.
