Description: British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph PAGODA OF THE MONKAY CONFERENCE Drawn by Eugene Burnand from Photograph by HarionHistorical Print 1887 This print takes us back to the late 19th century, immersing us in the exotic world of Indochina. The image showcases the Conference Pagoda in Monkay, a port in Vietnam, beautifully engraved by Eugene Burnand. This engraving was created as an illustration for the narrative "Sur les frontières du Tonkin (The Borders of Tonkin)" written by Doctor P. Neiss, featured in the publication "Le Tour du Monde" published by Edouard Charton. The scene depicted is filled with a sense of intrigue and wonder. The pagoda stands tall and majestic against its surroundings, showcasing intricate architectural details that reflect Vietnamese culture. A crowd of natives can be seen gathered around it, perhaps engaging in discussions or attending important conferences - hence the name of this remarkable structure. Eugene Burnand's skillful engraving brings this moment to life, capturing not only the physical beauty of the pagoda but also conveying a glimpse into daily life during that time period. The attention to detail is evident as every line and stroke adds depth and texture to this mesmerizing artwork. Preserved within a private collection, the rare photograph depicted in the engraving offers us a window into history – a snapshot frozen in time. It reminds us of how art has always been intertwined with storytelling and exploration, transporting viewers across continents and eras through visual narratives like these. The pagoda is a Japanese architectural development that had significant cultural and religious meaning. Pagodas are present not only in Japan but throughout Asia (mostly China) and in other countries. A pagoda is usually described as an Asian tiered tower with multiple eaves...the use of the term here is questionable...likely an European misuse of the term.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
