EDITORS COMMENTS
This color photograph, titled "Tourneur" captures the essence of a 19th-century European carpenter at work in Vietnam's picturesque Tonkin region. The image is part of a private collection and was originally published as an illustration for the book Autour Du Monde by L Boulanger around 1900. In this mesmerizing snapshot, we witness the skilled craftsmanship of Tourneur as he meticulously carves woodwork on a bustling street in Tongking. The vibrant colors bring to life the rich cultural heritage of Indochina, showcasing Asia's enchanting beauty. The composition beautifully showcases Tourneur surrounded by stacks of timber and firewood, highlighting his vital role in providing warmth and building materials for the local community. His expertise in carpentry shines through as he transforms raw firwood into intricate pieces that will adorn homes throughout Vietnam. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported back in time to an era when traditional trades thrived amidst South East Asia's ever-evolving landscape. This photograph serves as a testament to both the resilience and artistry present within Vietnamese culture. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this historical gem from their Fine Art Finder collection. It serves not only as a visual delight but also as a window into our shared human history—a reminder that even centuries later, these moments captured through photography continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
