The captivating print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the royal princess of Madagascar as she passionately preaches the holy war against France. This engraving, featured in "Le petit journal" on September 9th, 1894, is a powerful testament to the anticolonial sentiment that swept across Africa during this time. The unknown artist skillfully portrays the princess's determination and conviction through their intricate work. Her regal presence commands attention while her words inspire unity and resistance against French imperialism. The colors used in this piece add depth and intensity to the scene, symbolizing both hope and defiance. This photograph from Leonard de Selva's private collection offers a glimpse into an era marked by revolt and struggle for independence. It serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience exhibited by African nations during times of oppression. The image also highlights the role of journalism in shaping public opinion during colonial times. "Le petit journal" played a crucial part in disseminating information about events unfolding around the world, shedding light on important historical moments like this one. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder of Madagascar's fight for freedom and its enduring spirit. It stands as an emblematic representation of African resistance against colonial powers – an everlasting symbol of pride for those who continue to strive for justice and equality.
