EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1877 in Attopeu, Laos. The image depicts Dr. Harmand and his Annamite helper engaged in a clandestine activity - conducting exhumations of Khas burials. This engraving by Eugene Burnand was created to illustrate the remarkable story of Laos and the wild populations of Indochina as told by Dr. Harmand. The scene is filled with intrigue and mystery as these explorers delve into the depths of an ancient cemetery, their faces hidden under wide-brimmed hats. Their determination is palpable, as they navigate through tombstones and overgrown vegetation in search of secrets buried beneath the earth. This print offers a glimpse into a time when exploration was not for the faint-hearted; it required courage, resilience, and an insatiable thirst for knowledge about different cultures. Driven by curiosity and a desire to understand the history of this land, Dr. Harmand fearlessly embarked on this journey alongside his trusted Annamite companion. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we cannot help but be captivated by its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that there are countless untold stories waiting to be discovered within forgotten tombs around the world – stories that shed light on our shared human experience across time and space.
