This print captures a scene from the bustling streets of Muong Mai in Indochina during the late 19th century. In this engraving, Burmese merchants can be seen engaging in lively commerce with Laotian women at the entrance of a pagoda. The image is part of an exploration voyage documented by Francis Garnier, lieutenant de Vaissseau, between 1866 and 1868. The picture showcases the vibrant exchange of fabrics and perfumes between these two cultures. The Burmese merchants proudly display their colorful textiles while offering enticing scents to the Laotian women passing through. It is a snapshot that encapsulates both the beauty products industry and cross-cultural connections that were prevalent during this time.
