EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented artist Armand Kohl in 1895, showcases M Tseng, the esteemed Chinese minister in Paris. Dressed in a magnificent ceremonial costume that exudes elegance and tradition, he stands tall with a sword held firmly in his hands. The intricate details of his attire reflect the rich cultural heritage of China. The portrait offers a glimpse into an era when Asia was still largely unknown to the Western world. As one person representing an entire continent, M Tseng symbolizes the diplomatic connections between nations during this time period. Published as part of "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" by Elisee Reclus and published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London, this engraving captures not only M Tseng's regal presence but also serves as a historical document showcasing traditional dress and weaponry from 19th-century China. Armand Kohl's skillful execution brings out every nuance of M Tseng's ceremonial dress while E Ronjat's collaboration adds depth to this remarkable piece. Together they have created an image that transports us back to a time where war was waged with swords rather than modern weaponry. This print is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates an entire concept - bridging cultures through diplomacy and highlighting the beauty of traditional costumes amidst warfare. It is truly a treasure for any art enthusiast or history lover seeking to explore different corners of our diverse world.
