EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Avant-garde d infanterie de marine" takes us back to a significant period in history. The colour lithograph, created by Louis Charles Bombled and part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of an expedition during the Franco-Hova Wars in Madagascar. The image showcases the avant-garde infantry of the French Marine Corps, ready for action amidst a colonial campaign. It serves as an illustration for "La Guerre a Madagascar" written by H Galli and illustrated by L Bombled in 1897. This artwork provides us with a glimpse into the era when France was actively involved in expanding its overseas territories. The composition exudes strength and determination as these marines prepare themselves for battle. Their uniforms proudly display their allegiance to France while highlighting their role as defenders of French culture abroad. The lush landscape of Madagascar serves as both backdrop and reminder that this campaign took place on foreign soil. Through this photo print, we are transported to a time when expeditions were undertaken to establish colonies and assert dominance over new territories. It is not just an artistic representation but also holds historical significance, shedding light on the complexities of colonialism during that era. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it serve as a reminder of our shared past and encourage us to reflect upon the impact such campaigns had on nations around the world.
