EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Le felis du TONKIN, a majestic wild cat native to Vietnam. The image is an advertisement for chocolate by Guerin Boutron, dating back to 1910. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the chromolithography make this piece a true work of art. The feline's tawny fur and piercing eyes draw you in, while its traditional costume adds an element of mystery and intrigue. This portrayal not only showcases the beauty of the animal but also pays homage to Vietnamese culture and tradition. Set against a backdrop of colonialism and cultural exchange, this image serves as a reminder of the complex history between France and Vietnam in the early 20th century. It offers a glimpse into a time when exotic animals were used in advertising to appeal to European audiences. Overall, this print is not just a stunning visual representation but also a historical artifact that tells a story about human-animal relationships, cross-cultural influences, and the power of imagery in marketing. It is truly a testament to the artistry and creativity that went into advertising during that era.
