EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a serene moment in the vibrant and richly cultural landscape of Hanoi, Vietnam during the 1910s. The image showcases the lush, verdant paddy fields stretching out towards the horizon, a testament to the hardworking Vietnamese farmers who cultivated rice, the staple food of the region. The peaceful scene is juxtaposed by the bustling activity of the narrow street in the background, where a Vietnamese woman in traditional attire walks alongside a French colonial lady, both observing the scene before them. The arrival of the French colonial rule in the late 19th century brought about significant changes to the agricultural sector, with the introduction of modern farming techniques and the expansion of rice cultivation. However, the traditional methods of rice cultivation continued to thrive in rural areas, as depicted in this photograph. Meanwhile, the streets of Hanoi were filled with the sounds, sights, and smells of daily life. Rickshaws, a common mode of transport during this era, can be seen in the background, carrying passengers through the bustling streets. The rickshaw puller, dressed in a simple cotton shirt and pants, navigates the crowded streets with ease, providing a vital service to the community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of traditional Vietnamese culture and the influences of colonial rule. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and heritage of Vietnam, and the resilience of its people in the face of change.
