EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Incineration de cadavres hovas, apres le combat d Ambolomonty" by Louis Charles Bombled depicts a haunting scene from the Franco-Hova Wars in Madagascar. This vibrant colour lithograph showcases the aftermath of a fierce battle, where French colonial forces are seen burning the bodies of fallen Hova soldiers. The image is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for the book "La Guerre a Madagascar" by H Galli with illustrations by L Bombled in 1897. It offers a glimpse into the brutal reality of colonialism and warfare during that period. The composition evokes strong emotions as it highlights the devastating consequences of conflict on both sides. The burning corpses serve as a chilling reminder of lives lost and the destructive power unleashed during this campaign. This photograph print captures not only historical significance but also raises questions about imperialism, power dynamics, and cultural clashes between France and its colonies. It symbolizes France's presence in Madagascar at that time and sheds light on European expansionism across continents. As we reflect upon this artwork, let us remember those who suffered due to war and acknowledge our shared responsibility to learn from history's mistakes.
