EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Du Tonkin au Siam" transports us back to the 19th century, a time of exploration and discovery. The image captures a scene at the gold mines of Bophien Hoi, as depicted in Prince Henri D'Orleans' illustrated album "Voyages en Asie et a Madagascar."
The European photographer behind this striking image has skillfully captured the essence of this expedition, showcasing the laborious process of gold washing in intricate detail. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, drawing viewers into the bustling activity at the mines.
Prince Henri of Orleans, son of Duke Robert and Princess Francoise, embarked on numerous journeys throughout Asia and Madagascar, documenting his adventures through photography. This particular photograph serves as a visual record of his travels and provides modern audiences with a glimpse into life during that era.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the courage and curiosity that drove explorers like Prince Henri to venture into unknown territories. It is through images like these that we can appreciate both the beauty and challenges faced by those who dared to seek out new horizons.
