EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases two intriguing glimpses into the rich cultural tapestry of Cochin China, a region in what is now southern Vietnam. Taken between 1866 and 1879 by Emile Gsell, a renowned French photographer, these albumen prints offer a fascinating window into French Indochina during this period. The first photograph captures Moses the warrior, his imposing figure exuding strength and resilience. The handwritten caption below emphasizes his significance as a formidable force within the community. His piercing gaze seems to hold stories untold, leaving viewers curious about his role in shaping the history of Cochin China. In contrast, the second image portrays an intimate scene featuring a Cambodian family. Their expressions convey warmth and unity as they gather together for this snapshot frozen in time. The handwritten caption beneath adds a personal touch to their story, inviting us to imagine their daily lives and traditions that have shaped their identity. Both photographs are presented on a disbound album page with meticulous attention to detail. The negative image on the right bears the number "18" suggesting its place within Gsell's extensive body of work. As we admire these images today, let us appreciate not only Gsell's artistry but also recognize how they provide valuable insights into Cochin China's past - an invaluable testament to its diverse heritage and cultural legacy.
