EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history from the late 19th century, showcasing the aftermath of a voyage from Tonkin to India in 1895-1896. The image features Prince Henri d'Orleans, along with Enseigne de vaisseau Emile Roux and M Pierre Briffaud, accompanied by their Chinese interpreter and Tibetan porters who were brought back to Calcutta.
The group is depicted standing together in Calcutta, each figure exuding a sense of curiosity and adventure as they reflect on their journey through Asia. Prince Henri of Orleans, known for his exploratory spirit and travels throughout Madagascar and Asia, appears contemplative yet determined in this snapshot.
The composition of the photograph is strikingly detailed, capturing the diverse cultural influences present in the scene - from traditional Tibetan attire to Western colonial dress. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, drawing viewers into this historical moment frozen in time.
As we gaze upon this fascinating glimpse into the past, we are reminded of the courage and curiosity that drove explorers like Prince Henri d'Orleans to venture into unknown territories, forging new connections between cultures and expanding our understanding of the world.
