EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical moment in the life of Augustus Pavie, a renowned French explorer and diplomat. Taken in the late 19th century, it captures Pavie's "Mission to Indochina" which was an important expedition that shaped international relations and colonialism during that era. The photograph depicts a scene filled with intrigue and adventure. In the foreground, we see Pavie himself, dressed in traditional explorer attire, surrounded by a diverse crowd of locals from Indochina. The atmosphere is bustling with energy as people gather to witness this significant event. One cannot miss the majestic elephant standing beside Pavie, symbolizing both power and exoticism. This magnificent creature serves as a reminder of the unique wildlife found in this region. Pavie's mission to Indochina aimed to strengthen ties between France and these Southeast Asian countries. His efforts played a crucial role in shaping future diplomatic relations between them. The artist who captured this moment remains unknown; however, their skillful engraving technique brings out every intricate detail of this historical event. Today, this print resides within the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs de la Ville de Paris' Maciet Collection. It stands as a testament to Augustus Pavie's remarkable achievements and his contribution to our understanding of Asian culture and history during that time period.
