EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Before the Hostilities" takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century, showcasing a fascinating educational card. The artwork depicts a French soldier standing in front of a mirror, dressed in his military costume and sporting an impressive moustache. As he gazes at his reflection, one can almost sense the anticipation and tension before engaging in warfare. The image not only captures the essence of colonialism but also provides a glimpse into the Sino-French War that took place during this period. It offers valuable historical insight into France's involvement in Asia and their interactions with Chinese culture. The intricate details on this card are truly remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to both the soldier and his surroundings. The vibrant colors used by the French School artist further enhance our visual experience, transporting us back to this pivotal moment in history. Through this print, we are reminded of how art serves as a powerful medium for education and storytelling. It allows us to delve into different eras, cultures, and conflicts while appreciating artistic craftsmanship. This particular piece from Bridgeman Images' collection is undoubtedly an invaluable addition for any history enthusiast or art lover seeking to explore Europe's engagement with Asia during the 19th century.
