EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Chasseur d Afrique" by Louis Charles Bombled captures the essence of a significant era in French colonial history. The vibrant colour lithograph transports us to the expeditions and campaigns that took place during the Franco-Hova Wars in Madagascar. The image showcases a Chasseur d'Afrique, a mounted soldier of African descent, adorned in his distinctive uniform. With an air of determination on his face, he epitomizes bravery and resilience as he navigates through the challenging terrain of Madagascar. This artwork was created as an illustration for "La Guerre a Madagascar" by H Galli with illustrations by L Bombled, published in 1897. It offers us a glimpse into the impact of French colonialism on this island nation. As we gaze at this striking print, we are reminded of France's extensive overseas territories and its rich cultural heritage. The campaign depicted here symbolizes not only military conquest but also represents France's desire to expand its influence beyond its borders. In this private collection photograph from Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind Bombled's work and the historical significance it holds. It serves as a reminder of how art has often been used to document pivotal moments in our collective pasts.
