EDITORS COMMENTS
The print of Africa, Saint Mary of Marovoay captures a scene from 1895 showing the training of the army of Sluzanski. In the image, young people can be seen riding on the back of zebus while being watched by Sluzanski on horseback. The setting is rich with cultural and historical significance, showcasing a blend of African tradition and European colonial influence. The presence of zebus as a mode of transportation highlights the importance of animals in daily life in Africa during this time period. The sight of young individuals learning military tactics reflects the preparation for potential conflicts or battles that were common in colonial territories. Sluzanski's commanding presence on horseback symbolizes authority and power, representing the European influence over native populations in Africa. This juxtaposition between traditional African practices and European colonialism is evident throughout the image. Overall, this print serves as a valuable historical document capturing a moment in time where different cultures intersected and clashed. It provides viewers with insight into the complexities of colonization and its impact on both indigenous populations and European settlers.
