EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a street scene in Hanoi, Vietnam during the 19th century. The focal point of the image is the grand procession of a large mandarin, depicted in exquisite detail by artist A. Ferdinandus. This drawing was created to illustrate the remarkable story of M. Romanet du Caillaud and his conquest of the Tong King Delta (or Tonkin) in 1873. The bustling street comes alive with activity as locals go about their daily lives amidst this extraordinary event. The mandarin's cortege is accompanied by an entourage of guards and bearers, showcasing the opulence and power associated with high-ranking officials at that time. The composition beautifully showcases various elements of Vietnamese culture, from traditional musical instruments like tambourines to homemade parasols providing shade for pedestrians along the way. The architectural details of buildings add depth to the scene, while glimpses into domestic life can be seen through open doorways. This engraving originally appeared in Le tour du monde magazine directed by Edouard Charton in Paris back in 1877 and now resides within Leonard de Selva's private collection. It serves as a valuable historical document offering insight into both Vietnamese society and French colonialism during this period. Leonard de Selva has preserved this piece meticulously, allowing us to appreciate its beauty today while honoring its historical significance.
