EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the First Catholic Mass Celebree in Saigon, Cochinchine, during French colonization in 1861. The image is taken from "Le Monde Illustre" nA'237 of October 26,1861, showcasing the profound impact of colonialism on Vietnam. The scene depicts a solemn religious ritual taking place amidst the vibrant Asian landscape. A group of Vietnamese locals gather around as French priests conduct the mass, symbolizing the introduction of Christianity to this part of Indochina. The fusion between two distinct cultures is evident as Eastern and Western traditions intertwine. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful engraving skillfully portrays this historic event with intricate details and precision. The composition exudes an air of reverence and curiosity as both communities come together to witness this momentous occasion. The print serves as a powerful reminder of the complex dynamics that unfolded during French colonization in Vietnam. It raises questions about religion, cultural assimilation, and power dynamics within colonial societies. As we reflect upon this image today, it prompts us to contemplate how historical events shape our present reality. It invites us to delve deeper into understanding the complexities surrounding colonialism while acknowledging its lasting impacts on both colonizers and colonized nations alike.
