EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Vietnamese beauty with a portrait of a young girl from My Tho, the capital city of Tien Giang Province in the Mekong Delta region of South Vietnam, circa 1910s. The girl's enchanting face is adorned with a traditional accessory, a metal band wrapped around her neck and secured with a thin cord. This region, known as Cochinchina in the French colonial era, encompassed the southern third of Vietnam, with its principal city being Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). The French colonized Cochinchina from 1862 to 1954. The girl's costume, consisting of a tunic, adds to the authenticity of this image. The metal band, a form of jewelry, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Vietnamese people. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of the traditional practices and customs of a beautiful young woman from the Mekong Delta region.
