EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Ravoninahitriniarivo, Berlin, May 1883" offers a glimpse into the world of diplomacy and cultural exchange in the late 19th century. The image showcases Ravoninahitriniarivo, Chief Ambassador of Queen Ranavalona II of Madagascar, dressed in his traditional Malagasy costume. With an air of authority and elegance, Ravoninahitriniarivo stands tall in his uniform adorned with intricate details. His moustache adds to his distinguished appearance as he confidently holds a sword by his side. The handwritten note on the portrait further emphasizes the personal touch and significance of this diplomatic encounter. The photograph captures not only Ravoninahitriniarivo's individuality but also serves as a testament to the growing global connections during that time period. As an emissary from Madagascar, he represents both his country's heritage and its aspirations for international recognition. Julius Cornelius Schaarwachter skillfully captures this historical moment with precise composition and attention to detail. Through this albumen print - a popular technique at the time - we are transported back to Berlin in May 1883 when cultures collided and alliances were formed. This remarkable image is now part of a private collection thanks to eMichael Graham-Stewart's dedication to preserving historical artifacts like these. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and the power that photography has in documenting moments that transcend time.
