EDITORS COMMENTS
This and haunting print titled "Lieutenant Gauthret of the French colonial infantry devoured by tigers in Annam" takes us back to a moment frozen in time. The image, captured by the French School in the 20th century, depicts a horrifying scene that unfolded in Indochina. In this vividly colored lithograph, we witness Lieutenant Gauthret's tragic fate as he becomes prey to a group of ferocious tigers. The intensity of the attack is palpable as these majestic predators pounce on their helpless victim. It serves as a chilling reminder of nature's power and man's vulnerability. The composition not only showcases the brutality of wildlife but also highlights the dangers faced by soldiers serving overseas during that era. Lieutenant Gauthret's sacrifice represents countless others who lost their lives while defending France's interests abroad. The inclusion of this illustration in Le Petit Journal on September 9,1906, further emphasizes its significance at that time. This piece undoubtedly left readers shocked and reminded them of both the risks involved with colonization efforts and the untamed beauty found within distant lands. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, it serves as a poignant reminder of history's darker moments – an eerie testament to human fragility amidst nature's relentless power.
