Alcohol Baskets Delta Dinh Distillery Distilling Jars Perfume Producing Scent Stills Vietnam Vietnamese
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s, offers a glimpse into the traditional distillery for flowers and alcohol at Nam Dinh in the Red River Delta of North Vietnam. The image showcases the indigenous distilling process, where the focus is on the production of fragrant scents and alcohol, rather than commercial enterprise. The heart of the scene is the distillery itself, with its intricate stills and vats, each carefully tended by skilled workers. The stills, with their unique and ornate designs, are reminiscent of a bygone era, their steam rising into the air as the distillation process unfolds. Surrounding the stills, baskets filled with vibrant, fragrant flowers await their turn to be transformed into precious scents. The air is thick with the sweet, heady aroma of the blossoms, mingling with the earthy scent of the distillery. Jars and containers are carefully arranged nearby, ready to receive the precious essences that will be extracted from the flowers. The workers, dressed in traditional Vietnamese attire, move deftly between the stills and the baskets, their faces focused and determined as they carry out their tasks. The Red River Delta, with its fertile soil and abundant water, has long been renowned for its floral production, and this distillery is a testament to the region's rich heritage and the ingenuity of its people. The scene is a beautiful and evocative reminder of the traditional industries that once thrived in Vietnam, and the deep connection between the land, its people, and the natural world.
