EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1900 captures a moment in time in Haiphong, Indochina/Vietnam, showcasing a family of settlers posing proudly with their children, servants, and their luxurious car. The image provides a glimpse into the lives of the bourgeoisie during the early twentieth century in this colonial setting.
The family exudes wealth and privilege as they stand confidently next to their automobile, a symbol of status and modernity at that time. The children look adorably dressed up while the servants stand dutifully by their side, highlighting the social hierarchy present in society during this period.
The backdrop of Haiphong adds an exotic charm to the scene, with its unique architecture and lush surroundings. The French influence is evident in the style of clothing worn by the family members and hints at the colonial presence in Vietnam during this era.
Overall, this photograph is not just a portrait but also a historical document that sheds light on the dynamics of power, class, and culture prevalent in Indochina/Vietnam at that time. It serves as a reminder of how photography can capture moments that transcend time and allow us to reflect on our past.
