EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment during the Tonkin Campaign in Bac-Ninh, where an intense Chinese ambush unfolds against the formidable gun boat "Carabiner". Created by an unknown artist in the late 19th century, this chromolithography piece showcases both the historical significance and artistic prowess of that era. The image transports us back to a time when colonialism and battles for power shaped Vietnam's destiny. The boat itself stands as a symbol of Western influence and military might, while the Asian landscape surrounding it serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of its people. In this scene, chaos reigns as Chinese combatants launch their surprise attack on the Carabiner. The tension is palpable; one can almost hear gunfire echoing through the air. This photograph encapsulates not only a specific battle but also reflects upon broader themes such as imperialism and cultural clashes between East and West. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings life to this historical event, capturing every detail with precision. Through his lens, we witness bravery amidst adversity and gain insight into Vietnam's complex past. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, let us remember those who fought valiantly during these tumultuous times. May their sacrifices serve as a reminder that history shapes our present and future endeavors.
