EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Drowning in the Mekong rapids" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by a French School artist and published in Le Petit Journal's supplement illustre on July 31st, 1910, this vivid colour lithograph transports us to the treacherous waters of the Mekong River. In this scene, we witness a tragic event unfolding near Louang Prabang as an army general named Beylee finds himself engulfed by the powerful rapids. Dressed in his military uniform and donning a pith helmet, he battles against nature's fury while desperately clinging onto hope for survival. The image portrays both the colonial presence and its consequences during that era of colonisation. The Laotian natives aboard their boat are depicted alongside General de Beylee, highlighting the complex dynamics between conquerors and those being conquered. As smoke billows from the vessel's chimney and waves crash against its hull, it becomes evident that tragedy is imminent. The tricolour flag flutters above them symbolizing national pride but also marking their impending doom. The inclusion of intricate details such as the helm or rudder emphasizes how even with advanced technology at their disposal, humans remain vulnerable to nature's forces. This haunting illustration serves as a reminder of our mortality and how unexpected accidents can lead to devastating shipwrecks. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
