EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1900 captures a moment in time in Indochina/Vietnam, specifically Haiphong (Hai Phong), featuring an European family surrounded by their employees and playful monkeys. The scene is a fascinating blend of cultures and interactions, showcasing the colonial influence of the era.
The European family appears to be at ease among their Vietnamese staff, with children playing alongside monkeys in the background. The image provides a glimpse into daily life during this period, highlighting the dynamics between different social classes and ethnic groups.
The presence of monkeys adds an element of whimsy to the composition, as they interact with both humans and each other. Monkeys were often kept as pets or used for entertainment during this time, reflecting attitudes towards animals that have since evolved.
Overall, this photograph serves as a valuable historical document, shedding light on the complexities of colonialism and cultural exchange in early 20th century Vietnam. It invites viewers to consider the relationships between individuals from diverse backgrounds and prompts reflection on how these interactions shaped society at that time.
