EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the defense of Tuyen Quan during the Tonkin War in Vietnam. Taken between February 14 and March 3,1885, this late 19th-century Epinal imaging showcases the bravery and resilience of both French and Vietnamese forces. The image depicts a fierce battlefield where soldiers from two different worlds clash for control. The French flag proudly waves amidst the chaos, symbolizing their colonial presence in Indochina. This photograph serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics that unfolded during this period of colonialism. The human element is evident in every detail captured by Stefano Bianchetti's lens. The expressions on the faces of these soldiers reveal determination, fear, and unwavering commitment to their cause. It is an intimate portrayal of individuals caught up in a larger conflict. As we reflect upon this historical event through this artwork, it prompts us to contemplate not only the military strategies employed but also the broader implications of imperialism and its impact on both sides involved. Preserved within a private collection today, this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in Vietnamese-French history. It stands as a testament to those who fought bravely on either side while reminding us to learn from our past as we move forward towards peace and understanding between nations.
