EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports viewers back to 1884, capturing a moment of cultural significance in Tonkin, Vietnam. Engraved by Tofani and based on a photograph taken by Dr Paul Hocquard, this image was featured in the renowned publication "Le Tour du Monde" under the direction of Edouard Charton. The scene depicted showcases an open-air theater performance amidst strong gusts of wind. The audience, predominantly Asian spectators, are seen engrossed in the spectacle unfolding before them. The engraving beautifully captures their expressions of awe and fascination as they witness the magic of live theater. This image serves as an illustration for Hocquard's story "Trente mois au Tonkin" providing readers with a visual representation of his experiences during his time in Vietnam. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and traditions prevalent in Indochina at that time. The black-and-white aesthetic adds to the timeless quality of this artwork, emphasizing its historical significance. Through this print, we are reminded not only of the power and allure of theater but also how it transcends borders and connects people from different corners of the world. Leonard de Selva's masterful photography preserves this enchanting moment for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon.
