EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the French presence in Tonkin, Vietnam. The image showcases a series of scenes that provide a glimpse into life during this era. Starting with number one, we see a magazine located within the Citadel of Hanoi, symbolizing the military stronghold and fortification present at that time. Moving on to Saigon, we are presented with an exquisite view of the Palace of the Governor, representing power and authority. The photo then transports us to Bo-Lieou where mission houses stand as symbols of religious influence and cultural exchange. As we journey through various streets in Hanoi and Hue, we witness bustling activity and architectural beauty that defined these cities. The theater scene at Hue captures our attention next, showcasing vibrant costumes worn by warriors who captivated audiences with their theatrical performances. The craftsmanship of Tonkinese workmen is highlighted as they skillfully inlay mother-of-pearl onto intricate designs. We are then transported to Sontay where Marine Fusiliers under Admiral Courbet storm the approach to the Chinese Quarter - a powerful depiction of conflict during this period. Natives and soldiers from Annamite add depth to this historical narrative. Lastly, haunting images emerge from Sontay's moat where dead Chinese soldiers lie - a stark reminder of past battles fought within these walls. Through this engraved image filled with illustrative techniques popular during Victorian times, history comes alive before our eyes. It serves as both an educational tool and a testament to human resilience amidst political turmoil.
