EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic military review led by Paul Doumer, the Governor General of French Indochina, and Emperor Thanh Thai of Annam. Published on the front cover of Le Petit Journal's Supplement Illustre on April 27th, 1902, this color photograph showcases the grandeur and power of these influential figures. The image depicts a group of distinguished men in military uniforms, helmets, and topees mounted on majestic horses. The riders exude authority as they command their cavalry with grace and precision. The presence of Emperor Thanh Thai adds an air of regality to the scene, emphasizing his role as both ruler and protectorate within French colonialism. Set against the backdrop of Hanoi, Vietnam's capital city at that time, this photograph offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics between France and its colonies during this era. It symbolizes not only military might but also political influence as Paul Doumer solidifies his position as Governor General. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time by the lens of a talented French photographer from the 20th century, we are reminded of how art can transport us back to significant events that have shaped our world. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to the intertwining narratives between politics, power structures, and cultural identities within colonial societies like French Indochina.
