EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph captures the moment of adoration and gratitude from the people of Madagascar as they carry their beloved French colonial administrator, Joseph Simon Gallieni, through the streets of Antananarivo in 1899. Gallieni, born in 1849, had earned legendary fame for his leadership during the First World War, particularly for his innovative use of taxis to transport troops during the Battle of the Marne in 1914. However, this image showcases an earlier chapter in his illustrious career. Gallieni's time in Madagascar, from 1896 to 1897, was marked by his successful military campaign against the Malagasy resistance. Despite the brutal nature of the conflict, Gallieni gained the respect and admiration of the Malagasy people for his fair treatment of prisoners and his efforts to improve their living conditions. This photograph is a testament to the deep connection he formed with the local population. As the crowd carries Gallieni through the streets, their faces radiate joy and reverence. The image is a poignant reminder of the complexities of colonialism and the human connections that could form between colonizers and the colonized. Gallieni's story is a significant chapter in both French colonial history and the history of Madagascar, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the emotional dimensions of that history." This rights-managed image from Mary Evans Prints Online is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the intricacies of colonialism and the enduring impact of individual leaders on the people they governed. It is not to be used for commercial purposes without proper clearance from the rights holder.
