EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by A. Paris takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the mysterious world of Lhasa, Tibet. The print depicts prominent figures from this remote region - the ta lama, the ta amban, and other chiefs - as they are immortalized in Gabriel Bonvalot's renowned travelogue "From Paris to Tonkin, through unknown Tibet". The image transports us to a time when Western explorers were venturing into uncharted territories, driven by curiosity and a thirst for discovery. In this scene, we witness these Tibetan leaders adorned in traditional attire that reflects their rich cultural heritage. Their regal presence is palpable as they exude an air of authority and wisdom. Engraved with meticulous detail by Alfred Paris, each figure comes alive on paper with striking realism. From the intricate patterns on their garments to their serene expressions and dignified postures, every element contributes to capturing the essence of these esteemed individuals. This engraving serves not only as a visual representation but also as a historical artifact that sheds light on cross-cultural encounters during this era. It reminds us of the power of exploration and documentation in bridging gaps between different worlds. Leonard de Selva's preservation of this artwork allows us to appreciate its beauty while honoring its significance within our collective history. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time and invited to embark on our own journey through unknown lands.
