EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts Prince Nguyen Phuc Canh of Cochin China (now Vietnam) at the age of seven, during his historic visit to France in 1787 to sign the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty marked the beginning of a formal alliance between Vietnam and France, which would significantly influence the political and cultural landscape of Indochina for centuries to come. Prince Canh is dressed in the traditional Vietnamese royal attire, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a grand headpiece. The young prince's serious expression and regal posture convey the gravity of the momentous occasion. In his left hand, he holds a Christian cross, a symbol of the growing influence of Catholicism and Roman Catholicism (RC) in Vietnam under French rule. The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 1, 1787, in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles. The event marked a turning point in the relationship between Vietnam and France, as the French gained significant influence over the Vietnamese court and the spread of Christianity in the region accelerated. This photograph print offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of Vietnam and its complex relationship with France during the late 18th century. It also highlights the cultural exchange that took place between the two nations, as evidenced by the young prince's traditional Vietnamese attire and the Christian symbol he holds. This image is an essential addition to any collection of Asian, Vietnamese, or colonial history, and a testament to the enduring impact of diplomatic alliances on global history.
