EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les Colonies Francaises" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of excitement and adventure. The engraving depicts a scene from the Journal Des Voyages on November 27,1892, showcasing the French colonies in all their glory. In this dramatic image, we see a young girl dressed in an exquisite costume surrounded by her attendants. Her brother stands proudly beside her as they embark on a voyage to explore new lands. The princess and prince are accompanied by servants and colonial officials who ensure their safety and comfort throughout the journey. The vibrant colors of their attire contrast beautifully with the backdrop of lush greenery, hinting at exotic destinations awaiting them. A sunshade shields them from the scorching sun as they set foot into unknown territories. This print captures not only the spirit of exploration but also highlights the complex dynamics of colonialism during that era. It offers a glimpse into Vietnam's history as it was known then - Annam - under Emperor Thanh Thai's reign. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we can't help but be transported to an era where royalty embarked on grand adventures to expand their empires. It serves as a reminder of both the allure and controversies surrounding colonization while celebrating the beauty and diversity found within different cultures around our world.
