EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a scene of cultural significance in Laos. The image showcases the process of planting borassus palm trees and collecting palm wine, an integral part of local tradition. As we delve into this historical moment, we witness the intricate craftsmanship involved in transforming the tree trunk into a real scale. The photograph reveals how bamboo is utilized as a vessel for collecting the precious liquid seeping from incise trees. The expertise of unknown artists is evident in their use of small rattan stripes to create scales on the trunk, with each tip carefully recorded as part of this remarkable design. Originally engraved to illustrate Francis Garnier's exploration voyage through Indochina between 1866 and 1868, this image was later published in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1870-1871. Preserved within a private collection today, it offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. Thanks to Leonard de Selva's photographic skills, this piece has been immortalized for generations to appreciate. It serves as both a visual feast and an educational tool that sheds light on ancient practices still cherished by communities around the world. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print from Fine Art Finder, let us be transported back in time and marvel at the ingenuity displayed by those who came before us.
