EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a Chef de Village en Costume officiel Cochinchine, taken in 1866 by Emile Gsell. The image is an albumen silver print captured on a glass negative, measuring 208 x 163 cm. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam during the mid-19th century. The Chef de Village, dressed in his official costume, exudes authority and elegance as he poses for the camera. His traditional attire reflects the distinctive style of Cochinchine, a region known for its vibrant colors and intricate designs. The attention to detail in this photograph is remarkable; every fold and embellishment on his garment can be admired with clarity. Emile Gsell's expertise behind the lens shines through as he captures not just an individual but also a moment frozen in time. This print transports us back to an era when Vietnam was under French colonial rule, providing valuable historical insight. Sainte Marie aux Mines-born photographer Emile Gsell dedicated his life to documenting various aspects of Vietnamese culture during his short-lived career.
