EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Siamese authorities hand over the territories of Krat and Koh Kong to France. The colour lithograph, created by the French School in the 20th century, showcases the solemn ceremony that marked the expansion of French colonialism in Southeast Asia. The image portrays a scene filled with symbolism and power dynamics. The tricolour flag of France is raised high above the territory, signifying its new status as a colony under French control. Siamese officials stand alongside their French counterparts, representing both cooperation and submission. The handover ceremony represents an important chapter in European influence on Asian nations during this era. It highlights how countries like France sought to expand their territories and exert their dominance over regions rich in resources and strategic importance. Through this photograph, we witness not only a physical transfer of land but also an embodiment of political agreements between two nations. The treaty signed between Siam (now Thailand) and France solidified these territorial changes within Indochina. As we reflect on this historical moment captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it serves as a reminder of Europe's impact on Asia during that time period. This image invites us to explore further into the complexities of colonialism while appreciating its artistic representation through lithography.
