EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a breathtaking view of the Annam Pavilion during the Paris Exhibition of 1889. The image showcases the small, ornate pagoda-style roofed building, with its intricate lantern at the peak, nestled among the tranquil waters of the exhibition's lagoon. The Annam Pavilion was a significant attraction at the Exposition Universelle, which marked the culmination of France's colonial expansion in Indochina. The pavilion was designed to showcase the cultural richness of Annam, a region in central Vietnam, to the European audience. The reflection of the pavilion on the water adds an extra layer of allure, creating a serene and mesmerizing scene. The Paris Exhibition of 1889 was a groundbreaking event, bringing together people and cultures from all corners of the world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the exotic and intriguing world of colonial Vietnam and the global connections that were forged during this time. The Box 119 Boswell Collection, from which this photograph originates, is a testament to the enduring fascination with the world beyond Europe's borders and the role of international exhibitions in shaping global perceptions.
