Rare images of Vietnamese people in the 1900s were recorded and kept by French photographers today. No matter what time, labor is still the basic value of life.

The livelihoods of Vietnamese people more than a century ago have been clearly portrayed and gathered in the image of "Bắc Bộ 1900". At that time, the set was exhibited at Paris itself so that the French had a full view of Vietnamese life. Not long ago, the photo was once again published in a French magazine. The set of photos is a collection of photos of French photographers during the Northern tours in the early 20th century.
