EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1893, when it was featured in "Le petit journal". The image showcases "The Armee of Siam" (Thailand), beautifully engraved by an unknown artist from the 19th century. This historical piece is part of a private collection curated by Selva. In this intricate engraving, we witness a scene that transports us to the heart of military action. The Thai infantry stands tall and proud, their uniforms perfectly detailed. They are accompanied by powerful cannons, symbolizing their strength and readiness for battle. However, what truly sets this artwork apart is the presence of majestic elephants amidst the soldiers. These gentle giants were not only used as transportation but also played a significant role in warfare during that era. Their inclusion adds an exotic touch to an already intriguing composition. As we delve into this remarkable print, we can't help but appreciate its cultural significance. It serves as a testament to the strong relationship between France and Thailand at that time. Through artistry and craftsmanship, this engraving immortalizes a moment in history where two nations converged on common ground. Leonard de Selva's photograph flawlessly captures every detail of this extraordinary print while preserving its timeless charm for generations to come.
