EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A French soldier back from Madagascar" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a moment of history. The colour litho artwork by French School depicts a war veteran's homecoming after the Second Franco-Hova War expedition. The image showcases the soldier standing on a tram, surrounded by curious passengers. As he recounts his experiences and shares stories of his time in Madagascar, people listen intently, captivated by his tales. The soldier's presence evokes a sense of admiration for his bravery and resilience. The composition beautifully captures the essence of imperialism and colonialism prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder of France's military involvement in its overseas territories and their impact on both European culture and global politics. As we observe this scene unfold within the bustling city streets of Paris, it becomes evident that travel has always been an integral part of human curiosity and exploration. This photograph not only transports us to another time but also highlights the universal desire for knowledge through journeying. Through this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by soldiers like him who fought for their country far away from home. It is a testament to their courage and dedication to duty that continues to resonate with audiences today.
