1950231831950. Vietnam photographs of Indigenous highland communities urban street life and Western contact likely made in the 1950s or early 1960s before the large-scale arrival of American combat troops in 1965. The group belongs most plausibly to the early U.S. advisory period when American personnel were present in Vietnam from 1950 and increasingly active in South Vietnam after 1955 but still long before the main combat escalation of the war. The juxtaposition of images highlight both upland Indigenous people posed in village or forest-edge settings and small urban views of southern Vietnam in which colonial architecture animal-drawn transport fishing labor and everyday street movement remain visible within the late French and early postcolonial landscape.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 11 silver gelatin photographs each 2.25" x 3" Vietnam likely South Vietnam circa 1950s to early 1960s. Several photographs show Indigenous men women and children standing in open grass or along wooded edges wearing wrapped garments bead necklaces and basketry or carrying poles with one image showing women beside woven baskets in shallow water and another showing a figure working in dense vegetation. Exact ethnic identification is not secure from the photographs alone but the upland dress body adornment and basket forms are consistent with communities from Vietnam's Central Highlands or adjacent southern uplands possibly Jarai Ede or Rhade Bahnar Mnong or Stieng all part of the broader grouping often described in French and later English sources as Montagnard or Degar peoples. Other photographs turn to city and urban scenes with one image showing two women fishing another of a man in an ox-drawn carriage a zoo setting with large cats behind fencing and a formal boulevard view centered on a French colonial civic building that is likely the Saigon Municipal Theatre. The city scenes also fit Saigon where the long-established Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens opened to the public in 1869 formed part of the colonial urban core.<br /> <br /> The posed views of Indigenous highland people and the street scenes of fishermen cart drivers and city residents preserve the way local communities entered the visual record of American presence as subjects observed approached and documented by outsiders attached to the expanding U.S. role in South Vietnam during the 1950s and early 1960s. Light surface wear and minor corner and edge wear; overall very good condition. The combination of Saigon views with photographs of Indigenous upland communities gives the group particular force as a compact record of pre-combat American encounter in southern Vietnam. unknown
