EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling chaos of Hanoi's vibrant markets in Tonkin, Vietnam, during the 1910s, this photograph captures the lively scene of a pig market. The air is thick with the pungent aroma of livestock and the sounds of haggling vendors and eager buyers. In the heart of the marketplace, pig vendors proudly display their trussed-up pigs and piglets, carefully arranged in round baskets. The pigs, with their glistening coats and determined expressions, seem almost human in their poses. The market, a vital part of the local community, provides fresh pork for the people of Tonkin, a region known for its rich culinary traditions. The northernmost part of Vietnam, Tonkin, or Tongking, lies south of China's Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces, east of northern Laos, and west of the Gulf of Tonkin. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and customs of this fascinating region during a time of great change.
