EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "The French in Cochin China, Sketches of Hue". The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a mesmerizing view of Hue. As you gaze at this image, you are transported to the streets of Cochin China. The bustling street scene is filled with life and activity. The entrance to the citadel stands proudly in the background, hinting at its historical significance. Military figures can be seen patrolling the area, symbolizing the presence of French forces during this period. The sketch beautifully portrays traditional dwellings lining both sides of the street. These structures provide a glimpse into Vietnamese culture and architecture. Annamite soldiers dressed in their distinctive traditional attire add an air of authenticity to this depiction. Intriguingly, we catch a glimpse of what appears to be a minister's residence nearby. This suggests that political power was also present within these vibrant streets. "The French in Cochin China" serves as a reminder of France's influence on Vietnam during colonial times. It highlights not only European involvement but also reflects upon Indochina's rich history and cultural diversity.
