EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1900 showcases the artistry of a Tourneur, an artisan lathe turner. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the essence of life in early 20th century Asia is evident. The photograph transports us to Indochina, specifically Vietnam's Tonkin region. Against a backdrop of traditional wooden houses with thatched roofs, we see three people - a father, his daughter, and another man - seated on benches outside their home. The father proudly displays his craftsmanship as he works diligently on a piece using his lathe. The scene exudes warmth and family values; it epitomizes the concept of fatherhood and passing down skills through generations. The young girl gazes at her dad with admiration while absorbing the knowledge he imparts. This tender moment between them reflects not only their bond but also highlights the importance of preserving traditional crafts in Vietnamese culture. As we delve deeper into this photogravure from "Autour du Monde - Fascicule VI" published by L. Boulanger in Paris, we are reminded of how literature can bridge continents and connect people across borders. Through this single image captured over a century ago, we gain insight into the lives of local people in Asia during that time. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation—a testament to the skillful craftsmanship found within its frame and an invitation to explore our shared human heritage through visual storytelling.
