EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Soldats Hovas deserteurs" transports us to a significant moment in history. Created by Louis Charles Bombled, this colour lithograph captures the essence of the Franco-Hova Wars and French colonialism in Madagascar. The image showcases a group of deserters from the Hova soldiers, their weary expressions revealing the toll that war has taken on them. The artist's attention to detail brings forth a sense of realism, allowing us to empathize with these brave men who have chosen to abandon their duties. This particular artwork was featured as an illustration for "La Guerre a Madagascar" by H Galli, accompanied by illustrations from Bombled himself. Published in 1897 by Garnier, this book sheds light on the campaigns and expeditions undertaken during this tumultuous period. As we delve into this historical narrative through art, we are reminded of France's involvement in overseas territories and its impact on different cultures. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities surrounding colonization and warfare. Now preserved within a private collection, this print offers us an opportunity to reflect upon past events while appreciating Bombled's artistic prowess. Through his skillful use of color and composition, he immortalizes these deserters' stories for generations to come.
