EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "French Mounted Infantry for the War in Tonquin" takes us back to a significant chapter in history - the Sino-French War of the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of French mounted infantry soldiers, resolute and ready for battle amidst the rugged terrain of Tonquin (present-day Vietnam). The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings these brave warriors to life. Their uniforms reflect their allegiance, adorned with distinctive French military insignia. Poised on their majestic horses, they exude both strength and determination. As we delve deeper into this historical scene, it becomes evident that this print was originally featured in The Illustrated London News in December 1883. It serves as a visual testimony to the ongoing conflict between France and Vietnam during that era. Beyond its artistic value, this engraving offers us an opportunity to explore the complex dynamics at play during colonial times. It sheds light on how European powers sought control over Southeast Asia and its resources through military conquests. Through this lens, we gain insight into not only the bravery of these French mounted infantrymen but also into the struggles faced by those living in Tonquin during this turbulent period. This image stands as a testament to human resilience amidst war-torn landscapes while reminding us of our shared global history.
