EDITORS COMMENTS
This color photograph captures the mesmerizing scene of the Changing of the Guard at a Buddhist temple in the Indo-China section of the Exposition Universelle 1900, held in Paris. Taken by an anonymous French photographer from the 20th century, this print showcases a moment frozen in time during this grand international exhibition. The image reveals a bustling atmosphere with people gathered around to witness this ceremonial event. The guards, dressed immaculately in their military uniforms, stand tall and proud as they carry out their duties. Surrounding them are magnificent statues and intricate architectural details that adorn the temple's pagoda-like structure. This photograph not only provides a glimpse into one specific aspect of colonialism but also represents France's influence over its overseas territories during that era. It serves as a testament to both French culture and European unity showcased within this global event. As part of Le Figaro Illustre's illustrations from 1900, this picture offers us insight into how exhibitions like these were documented and shared with audiences at that time. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, it transports viewers back to a significant moment in history when cultures converged on an international stage. Preserved within private collections until now, thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform we can appreciate and reflect upon this remarkable image once again.
