EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving captures a moment in time from the 28th of July, 1895, depicting students in an exam in Tonking. The scene is bustling with activity as candidates diligently work at their desks under the watchful eyes of examiners and guards. In this rigorous three-year exam, approximately 10,000 hopefuls vie for only 60 coveted spots as government graduates.
The image offers a glimpse into the intense competition and dedication required to succeed in academia during this period. The students are focused on showcasing their knowledge and erudition, knowing that only a select few will emerge victorious.
The setting is rich with cultural details, reflecting the fusion of French influence in Indochina with traditional Vietnamese elements. From mandarins to watchtowers, every aspect of the examination process is meticulously depicted.
As we observe these young scholars immersed in their studies, we are reminded of the importance placed on education and achievement across different cultures. This print serves as a testament to the pursuit of excellence and the perseverance necessary to overcome academic challenges.
