Life of Hanoians in the early 20th century was highlighted in the premier great color photograph collection, named “The Archives of the Planet”. In this period, life of Hanoians was still primitive. A French photographer was in charge of capturing these precious moments at that time during the period of 1915-1920.
The exhibition is taking place in Ha Noi from Dec. 6, 2013 to Jan. 4, 2014.
Some images at the exhibition were taken by Léon Busy in Ha Noi in the 1915-1920 period.
