EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegant and refined appearance of a Vietnamese Mandarin from Lang-son province, dating back to approximately 1903. The Mandarin, dressed in traditional Tonkin attire, is shown seated with an upturned collar and a serious expression on his face. His clothing is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region, with a long, flowing robe adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The Mandarin's shoes, with their distinctive pointed toes, are also a notable feature of the traditional Tonkin dress. The Mandarin's head is adorned with a tall, ornate hat, known as a "nón lá," which is made from palm leaves and is a symbol of authority and status. The hat is held in place by a red cord, adding an air of importance to the Mandarin's appearance. The intricate details of his clothing and accessories, from the intricate embroidery on his robe to the decorative buttons on his shoes, demonstrate the skill and artistry of Vietnamese craftsmanship during this period. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the fashion and culture of the Vietnamese Mandarins of Lang-son province during the early 20th century. The Mandarin's solemn expression and formal attire convey a sense of dignity and authority, making this an important and fascinating image for anyone interested in the history and traditions of Vietnam and the wider region of Tonkin and Tongking.
