EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking engraving, titled "Infanticide in Madagascar" captures a somber scene from the 19th century. The image depicts a tragic practice that was prevalent in Madagascar during that time - the act of infanticide. Created by an anonymous English School artist, this print offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by children in this region. The composition is both haunting and powerful, showcasing the desperation and sorrow surrounding this cruel act. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every element within the scene contributes to its emotional impact. From the anguished expressions on the faces of those involved to the stark landscape that surrounds them, each aspect serves as a reminder of the gravity of this issue. Originally featured in "The Gallery of Engravings" edited by C. H. Timperley and published in Fisher (1846), this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate its historical significance while preserving its artistic integrity. As we reflect upon this artwork, it prompts us to confront uncomfortable truths about our shared human history. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far society has come since then and encourages us to continue working towards creating a world where such atrocities are no longer tolerated. This print from Bridgeman Images invites viewers to delve deeper into conversations surrounding social justice and child welfare while reminding us never to forget or repeat past mistakes.
