The colour lithograph, created by Louis Charles Bombled, showcases the scene from the Franco-Hova Wars during the French colonization of Madagascar. In this striking image, General Duchesne and his officers are depicted participating in a ceremonial bath. The illustration was originally intended for "La Guerre a Madagascar" written by H Galli and illustrated by L Bombled in 1897. This historical account sheds light on France's military expeditions and campaigns in its colonial territories. The composition exudes an air of authority as the officers gather around their esteemed leader amidst the backdrop of water. It symbolizes not only cleanliness but also camaraderie among soldiers engaged in war. The significance of this ceremony lies within its representation of French culture and colonialism during that era.
