Published in "Le Tour du Monde" under the direction of Edouard Charton, this engraving transports us back to 19th-century Vietnam. The missionary depicted here stands tall amidst an Asian landscape, his presence exuding both strength and humility. Dressed in traditional attire, he embraces the local culture while carrying out his religious mission. The intricate details etched by Tofani bring life to every line and curve, showcasing his mastery as an engraver.
