Our Heroes of Tonkin - A Tribute to French Military Figures in the Sino-French War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century, pays homage to the brave heroes who played pivotal roles in the Tonkin Campaign during the Sino-French War of 1883-1885. The artwork showcases a group portrait of prominent French military figures who led their troops with unwavering courage and determination. Commander Henri Riviere, Commander Marc-Edmond Domine, Admiral Amedee Courbet, Lieutenant-Colonel Paul-Gustave Herbinger, and General Oscar de Negrier stand tall as symbols of valor and leadership. Each face tells a story of sacrifice and dedication to their mission. This educational card serves as a reminder of an era when colonialism was prevalent and European powers sought dominance over Southeast Asia. It offers insight into France's historical involvement in Indochina (now Vietnam) and its complex relationship with Asian nations. The image captures not only these distinguished individuals but also reflects upon the larger context of warfare during that time. It reminds us that conflicts transcend borders and impact both soldiers on the ground and civilians caught in between. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from our private collection, let us remember those who fought bravely for their countries' interests while acknowledging the complexities surrounding imperialism. This print stands as a testament to history's lessons learned while honoring those whose sacrifices shaped our world today.
