EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in Formosa" takes us back to the year 1895, offering a glimpse into the rich history and picturesque landscapes of Taiwan. Created by Charles Auguste Loye, a talented French illustrator and engraver, this lithograph captures the essence of Formosa's coastal beauty. The image showcases an entrance to a bustling town on the north side of Formosa. The bay is filled with anchored ships, forming an impressive fleet that hints at the maritime significance of this region. In the distance, we can see the topography of Keeling Harbour as it gracefully meets the sea. However, there is more to this scene than just serene coastal scenery. Historical context reveals that during this period, Taiwan was bombarded by Japanese fleets. Loye's illustration for The Illustrated London News serves as a visual record of these events. As we observe every detail in this print - from shoreline features to architectural elements - we are transported back in time and immersed in both natural beauty and historical significance. This artwork not only celebrates Loye's talent but also offers us an opportunity to reflect on Taiwan's past and its enduring connection with France through art. Displayed proudly within a private collection, this lithograph reminds us of our shared cultural heritage and invites us to appreciate both artistic mastery and historical storytelling captured within one frame.
