EDITORS COMMENTS
Telegraphie optique (colour litho) captures the essence of a pivotal moment in history, depicting an intriguing blend of technology and colonialism. This print by Louis Charles Bombled takes us back to the Franco-Hova Wars in Madagascar during the late 19th century. The image showcases French soldiers engaged in an expeditionary campaign, strategically utilizing optical telegraphy to communicate across vast distances. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this historical event to life, showcasing the power dynamics at play during France's colonial expansion. Bombled's artwork was originally created as an illustration for La Guerre a Madagascar by H Galli, with his illustrations providing visual context for the gripping narrative. It now resides within a private collection, serving as a testament to both artistic mastery and historical significance. This print serves as a reminder of France's involvement in overseas territories and its impact on local cultures. It sheds light on the complexities of colonialism while highlighting technological advancements that shaped military strategies during this era.
