EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1896, capturing a moment of historical significance. The image showcases a repatriate from Madagascar standing on an omnibus platform in Paris, surrounded by an admirable crowd. The engraving was featured in "Le petit journal" a renowned French publication at the time. The scene is filled with energy and curiosity as people gather around this African hero, eager to catch a glimpse of someone who has returned from faraway lands. It is evident that this repatriate holds great importance and represents something significant for both France and Madagascar. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, but their skillful execution brings out the essence of heroism and colonialism intertwined within this momentous event. This image serves as a testament to the power of press during that era, where engravings like these made various facts accessible to the public. As we observe this photograph today, it offers us a window into history - reminding us of France's colonial past while also highlighting moments of triumph and unity between different cultures. Leonard de Selva's preservation of such images allows us to appreciate not only their artistic value but also their contribution towards understanding our shared heritage.
