EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Attaque par une section de tirailleurs d'une maison hova" showcases the intense and dramatic moments of a colonial campaign in Madagascar. Created by Louis Charles Bombled, this colour lithograph captures the essence of warfare during the Franco-Hova Wars. The image portrays a section of tirailleurs, French infantry troops, launching an attack on a Hova house. The vibrant colours bring to life the chaos and bravery displayed by these soldiers as they engage in battle. This artwork was originally featured in La Guerre a Madagascar, written by H Galli and illustrated by L Bombled in 1897. As an important historical document, this print sheds light on France's colonial presence in Madagascar during that era. It serves as a reminder of the expeditions undertaken by European powers to expand their territories overseas. The composition not only reflects the military aspect but also highlights elements of French culture and imperialism prevalent at that time. It symbolizes France's determination to establish dominance over its colonies while showcasing the resilience and resistance faced from local populations. This print is part of a private collection and is made available for public viewing through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its historical significance makes it an invaluable piece for those interested in exploring themes related to colonialism, war campaigns, and French history beyond mainland Europe.
