EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the Group portrait of members of the Mekong Exploration Expedition 1866-1868 on the steps of Angkor Vat. Taken by an unknown photographer in the 19th century, this print is now housed at the National Library in Hanoi, Vietnam. The image showcases a diverse group of explorers led by Garnier and Doudart de Lagree, who embarked on an ambitious journey to explore the Mekong River region. Standing proudly on the grand staircase of Angkor Vat, their expressions reveal a sense of adventure and determination. This photograph not only highlights these brave individuals but also sheds light on colonialism during that era. The French explorers symbolize European influence in Asia as they ventured into uncharted territories. Their presence signifies both curiosity about exotic lands and aspirations for territorial expansion. The composition skillfully captures each member's unique personality while emphasizing their collective purpose. The intricate details captured by Leonard de Selva's lens bring forth a sense of authenticity to this historical moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of how photography can transport us back to pivotal moments that have shaped our world today. It serves as a visual testament to human exploration, cultural exchange, and the enduring power of art to preserve our shared heritage.
