EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant event that unfolded in China, specifically at the Imperial Palace, in 1901. The focal point of the image is Colonel Marchand, who can be seen confidently directing his comrades with precise hand gestures. Published as an illustration in Le Petit Journal on May 5th, 1901, this artwork brings to life the intensity and action of the incident. The scene depicts a group of military personnel dressed in their distinguished uniforms, showcasing their dedication and bravery during this tumultuous time. Amidst billowing smoke from what appears to be a distant conflict or accident, these soldiers are seen carrying out various tasks - passing documents, ordering others around, and even engaging in a game of football. The imposing exterior of the palace serves as a dramatic backdrop for this snapshot frozen in time. Its grandeur contrasts sharply with the chaos unfolding outside its walls. This photograph not only captures an important historical moment but also highlights the resilience and adaptability of those involved. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are transported back to turn-of-the-century China – a time when events were shaping history itself. It serves as both a reminder of past struggles and triumphs while offering us insight into how individuals come together during times of crisis.
