EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - French troops embarking for China in 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion. Painted by Eugene Damblans, this artwork was featured on the front cover of Le Petit Journal on August 26th, 1900. The image showcases a bustling scene at the harbor as French soldiers prepare to depart for their mission. Amidst the chaos and activity, one can sense an overwhelming atmosphere of patriotism and determination. Men clad in military uniforms march with purpose, while spectators gather outside to bid them farewell. The tricolour flag of France proudly waves in the wind, symbolizing unity and national pride. The artist's skillful engraving technique brings life to this historical moment, capturing not only the physical details but also conveying emotions through his artistry. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to that era when global powers sought influence over trade, politics, religion, and technology in China. This artwork serves as a reminder of the turbulent times during which it was created - a time when nations clashed and ideologies collided. It stands as a testament to human resilience and sacrifice amidst conflict. As we reflect upon this piece from our vantage point in the twenty-first century, let us appreciate both its artistic merit and its historical significance.
