EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement of the 14th of July Festival in Thu Dau Mot, the capital city of Binh Duong Province in Vietnam, circa 1904. The annual celebration, held during the French colonial era, is depicted here with children eagerly trying to catch treats suspended on the ends of fishing rods and lines held by the Colonial French administrators. The officials, dressed in their distinctive white uniforms, pith helmets, and stern expressions, seem to be in charge of the proceedings. The crowd, a sea of Vietnamese faces, watches intently as the children reach out with mouths agape, hoping to snatch a treat before their peers. The road behind the scene is filled with onlookers, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the event. This historical image offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the cultural fusion that existed during the French colonial rule in Vietnam.
