EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Expedition to Cochinchine. The image showcases the bridge of a steam gunboat amidst the chaos of the bombing of Touranne on September 8,1859. The unknown artist skillfully depicts the intensity and devastation of war through this powerful composition. The scene is filled with tension as soldiers stand resolute on the bridge, their faces etched with determination. Thick plumes of smoke rise from cannon fire, engulfing the air and obscuring visibility. The gunboat itself stands as a symbol of military might, its sleek structure cutting through turbulent waters. The photograph transports us back to an era when Vietnam was known as Cochinchina, providing a glimpse into one chapter of its complex history. It serves as a reminder that conflict knows no boundaries and has far-reaching consequences for all involved. Leonard de Selva's masterful capture immortalizes this historical event for generations to come. Through his lens, we are transported to that fateful day in 1859 when lives were forever changed by warfare in Indochina. As we gaze upon this evocative image, let us reflect on the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely during this tumultuous period in Vietnamese history.
