EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the Tonkin Expedition, specifically Saigon, the capital of the French Colony of Lower Cochin China. The print showcases various aspects of life during this historical period. In the foreground, we see an Annamese House Servant and Messenger dressed in traditional attire, highlighting their important role in communication and household tasks. Next to them stands an Annamese Private Servant, perhaps serving a higher-ranking individual with utmost dedication. Moving towards the center of the image, we encounter a "Gharry" carriage navigating through pouring rain. This scene evokes a sense of resilience amidst challenging weather conditions. A Street Coolie catches our attention as he carries heavy loads on his back while traversing bustling streets. His strength and determination reflect the arduous nature of labor during that era. Finally, our gaze settles on part of Saigon itself, featuring prominent landmarks such as the British Consulate building. This glimpse into urban life provides insight into how different cultures coexisted within this vibrant cityscape. The engraving's intricate details and illustrative technique transport us to a bygone era when engravement was celebrated as an art form. Its vintage charm adds nostalgia to any collection or display space where it is showcased. As we admire this historic artwork today, let us appreciate its ability to preserve moments from history and shed light on past cultures for generations to come.
