EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases a pivotal moment in history - the capture of Kep, Tonkin by French soldiers during the Sino-French War of 1884. The image, created by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century, is part of a private collection and offers valuable insights into this significant conflict. The educational card on which this print was featured provides a glimpse into late 19th or early 20th-century teaching materials. It serves as a reminder of how warfare and colonialism were taught to generations past. In this vivid depiction, we witness the storming of Kep's gates as French soldiers engage in fierce combat with their Vietnamese counterparts. This battle scene symbolizes the clash between Europe and Asia, highlighting France's imperial ambitions in Indochina. The historical context surrounding this image cannot be overlooked. The Sino-French War marked an intense confrontation between two powerful nations vying for control over Southeast Asia. As both sides fight against each other, it becomes evident that this conflict had far-reaching implications for Vietnam's future. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when France sought to expand its influence across Asia while Vietnamese forces fiercely defended their homeland. It serves as a poignant reminder of the complex dynamics at play during this era and invites us to reflect on the lasting impact these events had on both continents involved.
