View of Our First Landing - A Glimpse into Timor's Colonial Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the early 19th century, capturing a significant moment in history - the first landing of French colonists at the Portuguese establishment in Dille, Timor. The image showcases a scene filled with anticipation and curiosity as the explorers disembark from their boat onto the sandy shores of this Indonesian island. The uniformed French navy officers stand tall on the gangplank, ready to embark on their mission of exploration and colonization. As they step foot onto this foreign land, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and crystal-clear waters, one can only imagine their sense of wonderment and excitement. Intriguingly, local natives observe this historic arrival from afar. Their presence adds an element of cultural exchange and highlights the complex dynamics between European colonizers and indigenous populations during that era. Engraved by Lerouge and Forget based on Alphonse Pellion's original artwork, this print beautifully captures both the natural beauty of Dille's beachfront landscape and the historical significance of France's colonial expansion into Southeast Asia. Today, we are fortunate to have access to such visual records that allow us to reflect upon our shared past. This print serves as a reminder not only of our collective history but also prompts us to contemplate how these encounters shaped present-day Indonesia.
