EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the late 1890s, depicting a Vietnamese wood worker and his family outside their modest home. The father, dressed in traditional Vietnamese clothing, holds a piece of freshly carved wood, his calloused hands a testament to his skilled craftsmanship. His wife, wearing a vibrant, flowing ao dai, tenderly holds their young child, while their other children play nearby. The simple, rustic setting of their home, with its thatched roof and wooden walls, reflects the humble yet resilient lifestyle of rural Vietnamese communities during this era. Woodworking was an integral part of Vietnamese culture and industry, with skilled artisans producing intricately carved furniture, decorative objects, and architectural elements. The family's connection to this ancient craft is evident in the father's proud expression and the piece of wood he holds. Despite the simple surroundings, the love and warmth of the family shines through in this image. The children's laughter and playfulness, the mother's protective embrace, and the father's contented smile all convey a sense of happiness and unity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of Vietnamese wood workers and their families during the late 1800s, a time of tradition, craftsmanship, and close-knit community.
