EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Death illuminating Tonkin" takes us back to the 19th century, specifically to November 20,1884. This illustration from le Don Quichotte magazine was created by Charles Gilbert-Martin and is now housed in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. In this colorful lithograph, we see a graveyard filled with tombstones representing public figures associated with the establishment of French rule in Indochina. The prominent names include Admiral Amedee Anatole Courbet, Paul Bert (Resident General in Hanoi), and Francis Garnier. Death himself stands tall amidst the tombstones, holding a scythe that emits an eerie glow as he illuminates Tonkin. This artwork serves as a critical commentary on colonialism and its impact on Vietnam (then known as Tonkin). Henri Laurent Riviere's satirical touch can be seen through his depiction of Death shedding light on the consequences of French colonization. The image suggests that these influential figures played significant roles but ultimately met their demise due to their involvement in establishing French dominance over Vietnam. Through this thought-provoking illustration, Gilbert-Martin invites viewers to reflect upon the complexities and repercussions of imperialism. It serves as a reminder that even those who hold power are not immune to death's inevitable grasp. As we gaze at this historical artifact captured over a century ago, it prompts us to question our own understanding of history and its lasting effects on societies around the world.
