REIGN OF HIS MAJESTY EMPEROR BAO DAI (1926–1945) Lucien Charles Auguste Varsavaux, known as WALERY, photographer (1866–1935). Full-length portrait of the Emperor of Annam in imperial regalia, with his hand resting on his study materials. Circa 1930. Large reproduction of a photographic print, framed, signed, and inscribed in the lower right corner: “To Mr. Prignet, a grateful and affectionate memento from his student Bao Dai, Emperor of Annam.” From 1926 to 1935, the young Emperor received a Western education in Paris. It was during this period that he attended the prestigious Hattemer private school, founded in 1885 by Rose Hattemer of Alsace and then directed by Mr. Prignet, to whom this print is dedicated. The print was produced shortly before Bao Dai’s grand return to Indochina in 1932. Dimensions: 71x45 cm (visible area).
