Paul Doumer, Governor General of Indochina, Received by the King of Siam in Bangkok, 1899
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history as Paul Doumer, the esteemed Governor General of Indochina, is warmly welcomed by the King of Siam during his visit to Bangkok in 1899. The artwork beautifully depicts this historic meeting between two powerful figures from different regions. The image showcases an alliance between nations and cultures as it portrays a metaphorical handshake between these influential men. Dressed in their military uniforms, they exude authority and command respect. The vibrant colors used in this illustration bring life to the scene and emphasize its importance. The presence of an elephant head on the wall behind them symbolizes both power and tradition. It serves as a reminder that Thailand (formerly known as Siam) was renowned for its majestic elephants – creatures revered for their strength and wisdom. Inside this remarkable print lies a glimpse into late 19th-century politics and diplomacy. As governor general, Doumer played a crucial role in shaping French colonial rule over Indochina while establishing relationships with neighboring kingdoms like Siam. This artwork originally appeared on the front cover of Le Petit Journal on May 7th, 1899 – making it not only visually striking but also historically significant. Through Oswaldo Tofani's skillful engraving technique, we are transported back to witness this monumental event that shaped Southeast Asian history forever.
