EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A French captive, Tonkin, Vietnam, 1895" offers a glimpse into the complex history of colonialism in Indochina during the late 19th century. The artist behind this thought-provoking piece is Oswaldo Tofani. The image depicts a male Vietnamese captive amidst the backdrop of Tonkin, the northernmost section of Vietnam that fell under French control after the Franco-Chinese War of 1884-1885. This photograph serves as a reminder of France's dominance over Vietnam and its subsequent resistance by many Vietnamese people for nearly seven decades. Le Petit Journal published this illustration on August 25th, 1895 - an era when color prints were still relatively rare and highly valued. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring to life the struggles faced by both captives and captors during this tumultuous period. As we reflect upon this piece today, it prompts us to contemplate themes such as captivity, resistance against colonial rule, and cultural identity within a historical context. It reminds us that even though time has passed since these events unfolded, their impact continues to shape our understanding of Asia's rich heritage. Credit: Heritage Images (not for commercial use)
