EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Transport of injured rapatries from Madagascar" takes us back to the 19th century when colonialism was at its peak. The unknown artist skillfully captures a poignant moment in history, depicting the aftermath of war on the island of Madagascar. The scene unfolds on a boat, which serves as a transport vehicle for wounded soldiers returning home. The French influence is evident through their presence and control over this African territory. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the complexities and consequences that come with colonization. The image exudes both sorrow and resilience. We see injured individuals being carefully attended to by medical personnel, highlighting the human toll of conflict. Their expressions reveal pain but also determination as they endure their journey back to France. Published in "Le petit journal" on January 26th, 1896, this engraving served as an important piece of press during that time period. It sheds light on the realities faced by those involved in wars fought far away from home. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures this historical artifact from his private collection. By sharing it with us today, he allows us to reflect upon our past while acknowledging how far we have come since then.
