ABSTRACT
This chapter covers a collection of illustrations annotated and drawn from the Monographie dessinée de l’Indochine, a publication by the École d’art de Giadinh (1935). These lithographs were produced by the students of the school, which was founded in southern Vietnam in 1913. These prints have been published in their raw state. This is one of the first times that they have been scientifically subjected to academic analysis and thus are intelligible to a non-Vietnamese public. This book illustrates the following situations: vegetable cultivation at Bình Tây; loading paddy rice into sacks; monkey bridge over an arroyo at Sa Đéc; large, square dipping net; threshing rice; hulling rice; making bamboo rice grinders; winnowing rice; poultry selling; peasant woman carrying her child in a basket; corner kitchen with utensil holders in bamboo; bamboo-cupping equipment.
