EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Conquete du Tonkin - Death of Commander Henri Riviere" takes us back to the historical events that unfolded in present-day Vietnam on May 19,1883. The engraving, created by Henri Meyer and now part of a private collection, vividly depicts the intense battle scene during the conquest of Tonkin. In this powerful image, we witness the tragic demise of Commander Henri Riviere (1827-1883), a prominent figure in French military history. As he valiantly leads his troops into combat against Vietnamese forces, an atmosphere of chaos and desperation permeates the battlefield. The engraving captures both the human toll and the relentless nature of war. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of France's colonial ambitions in Vietnam during this era. It sheds light on the complex dynamics between two nations locked in conflict over territory and power. The black-and-white composition adds depth to our understanding of these historical events while emphasizing their enduring significance. Stefano Bianchetti's meticulous reproduction ensures that this engraving continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and historical value. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment in Asian history – one that forever shaped Vietnam's path towards independence from foreign rule.
