EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sorciers malgaches" transports us to the enchanting world of Madagascar. Created by Louis Charles Bombled, a renowned artist from the late 19th century, this colour lithograph captures the essence of Malagasy sorcerers in all their mystical glory. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in the book "La Guerre a Madagascar" written by H. Galli and illustrated by L. Bombled in 1897. It offers a glimpse into the Franco-Hova Wars that took place during French colonialism in Madagascar. Intriguingly strange yet undeniably fascinating, this artwork showcases native sorcerers dressed in traditional costumes, surrounded by magical elements such as pots and symbols associated with their craft. The juxtaposition between French colonial influence and indigenous magic creates an aura of mystery and intrigue. As we delve into this visual narrative, we are reminded of the complexities inherent in colonization - both its impact on local cultures and its fascination for those who sought to understand them. This print serves as a testament to France's historical expeditions and campaigns while shedding light on the unique cultural heritage of Madagascar. Through this lens, we gain insight into not only France's overseas territories but also broader themes surrounding war, magic, and identity within different cultures. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art history for us to appreciate today - allowing us to reflect upon our shared human experiences across time and borders.
