EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, Princess Hoang Thi The, the grand-daughter of the King of Tonkin in Vietnam, is seen grieving the loss of her mentor, President Doumer of France. The image, captured in 1932, portrays the princess in a moment of deep sorrow and reflection, as she pays her respects to the late president. Born in the royal court of Tonkin, Hoang Thi The defied traditional expectations by pursuing a career in film in America. Her talent and charisma quickly gained her recognition, and she became a successful actress in the 1930s Hollywood scene. However, her connection to President Doumer transcended her acting career. The French leader had taken an interest in the young princess and had become a father figure to her, providing her with valuable guidance and support. The racial and political climate of the time, however, presented challenges for the Vietnamese princess in America. Despite her success, she faced discrimination and prejudice, which made her mentor's unwavering belief in her abilities all the more important. When President Doumer passed away in 1932, Hoang Thi The was devastated by the loss. The photograph captures her in a moment of raw emotion, as she mourns the man who had believed in her when few others did. The image is a testament to the unique bond between the princess and her mentor, as well as the challenges faced by individuals who defied the racial and cultural norms of their time. It serves as a reminder of the power of mentorship and the impact it can have on an individual's life, particularly in the face of adversity.
