EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - French colonial troops in Madagascar, 1897. The image showcases a detachment of six Senegalese soldiers led by Sergeant Bruneau as they valiantly defend their supply train against rebel attacks. The colour litho brings to life the bravery and courage displayed by these African soldiers who fought under the French flag. The scene depicted here is an illustration for Le Petit Journal, dated 10 October 1897, providing a glimpse into the intense warfare that took place during this time. The rifles held firmly in their hands symbolize their commitment to protection and defence. French colonialism was prevalent during the 19th century, with France establishing its presence across various territories worldwide. This photograph serves as a reminder of this era and highlights the complex dynamics between European powers and colonized nations. The composition beautifully portrays the determination of these troops amidst challenging circumstances. It encourages admiration for their unwavering spirit and dedication to serving their country far away from home. As we reflect on this historical moment captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, it prompts us to contemplate both the triumphs and complexities associated with colonialism while appreciating the sacrifices made by those involved in armed forces throughout history.
