EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les Caimans" takes us back in time to the era of French colonialism and expeditions. The image, a colour lithograph by Louis Charles Bombled, showcases a scene from the Franco-Hova Wars in Madagascar. The print depicts a boat transporting soldiers and supplies through treacherous waters infested with crocodiles. It serves as an illustration for H. Galli's book "La Guerre a Madagascar" published in 1897 with illustrations by Bombled. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this campaign, highlighting the challenges faced by French forces during their conquests. The tugboat leading the way symbolizes France's determination to expand its colonies overseas. This artwork not only reflects on historical events but also provides insight into transportation methods used during that period. The boats depicted here were crucial means of transport for troops and resources, enabling them to navigate through hostile territories. As we delve into this image, it is impossible not to appreciate its historical significance and artistic merit. It offers us a glimpse into an era when exploration, war, and cultural exchange shaped nations' destinies. With its vibrant colours and attention to detail, this print brings history alive while reminding us of France's rich colonial heritage in Madagascar.
