EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Marche a Tananarive" showcases the vibrant essence of colonial Madagascar during the Franco-Hova Wars. Created by Louis Charles Bombled, this colour lithograph captures the bustling market scene in Tananarive, now known as Antananarivo. The image transports us back to a time when France was expanding its colonial empire and engaging in military campaigns across various territories. The French influence is evident through the presence of soldiers and their uniforms amidst the lively market atmosphere. As we delve into this historical moment, it becomes apparent that this artwork served as an illustration for H Galli's book "La Guerre a Madagascar" published in 1897. It offers us a glimpse into the realities of colonization and war, shedding light on both the cultural exchange between France and Madagascar and the struggles faced by indigenous populations. The composition beautifully captures everyday life within this colonial setting – merchants selling their wares, locals going about their daily activities, and French soldiers overseeing it all. This juxtaposition of cultures invites contemplation on themes such as power dynamics, imperialism, and identity. Through Bombled's skilful rendering and attention to detail, we are transported to another era where history unfolds before our eyes. This remarkable piece serves not only as an artistic expression but also as a window into past events that have shaped both nations involved – France and Madagascar.
