EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Annamese way of reaping and threshing rice in Annam, Vietnam, back in 1922. The image showcases a scene filled with hardworking men dressed in traditional Vietnamese attire, laboring under the scorching sun amidst vast rice fields. With their conical hats shielding them from the intense heat, these resilient individuals demonstrate their deep connection to the land and their dedication to sustaining their communities. In this snapshot of rural life during French Indochina, we witness an ancient agricultural practice that has been passed down through generations. The men skillfully maneuver a primitive threshing machine, which separates grain from stalks with rhythmic precision. Their synchronized movements reflect not only years of experience but also a profound understanding of nature's cycles. The significance of rice as a staple food source is evident throughout this photograph. It serves as a reminder that agriculture was not just an occupation for these Vietnamese farmers; it was their way of life – one deeply intertwined with the rhythms of nature and essential for survival. Preserved by J. A Hammerton's collection "Peoples of All Nations" this remarkable image offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century Vietnam – its people, customs, and timeless traditions rooted in agriculture. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece today, let us appreciate the resilience and ingenuity displayed by those who toiled tirelessly to feed their communities while honoring age-old practices that sustained them for centuries.
