EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of Alphonse Favier, a remarkable figure in French history. Alphonse Favier (1837-1905) was not only a French lazarist but also the bishop of Pekin, leaving an indelible mark on both religious and political spheres. The image showcases his dignified presence, with deep lines etched onto his face that speak volumes about the challenges he faced. Favier's heroic role during the infamous Boxer Rebellion in 1900 is highlighted here. Known as the "hero of the seat of legations" he fearlessly defended foreign diplomats against attacks by Chinese rebels. This act of bravery solidified his place in history as a symbol of resilience and courage. The artist behind this engraving remains unknown, belonging to the 20th-century French School. However, their skillful hand brings out every intricate detail in Favier's portrait, capturing his determination and unwavering faith. This print from a private collection offers us a glimpse into an era when missionaries played pivotal roles in shaping societies across continents. It serves as a reminder of Favier's significant contributions to evangelization efforts in China while bridging cultural gaps between France and Asia. Leonard de Selva expertly captured this historical moment through his lens, preserving it for generations to come. As we admire this powerful image today, let us remember Alphonse Favier's legacy as an emblematic figure who dedicated himself to serving humanity regardless
