Historical Photo of Pork Transport on a Wheelbarrow in Tonkin, 1900s #1798001 (License: Personal Use)

This early 20th-century black-and-white photograph captures two individuals-likely vendors-in Tonkin (northern Vietnam under French colonial rule)-pushing a large, handcrafted wooden wheelbarrow loaded with butchered pork. The men wear traditional conical hats (nón lá) and simple attire, while the wheelbarrow features a single large wooden wheel and a sturdy frame bound with rope, reflecting local craftsmanship and rural logistics of the era. The background includes colonial-style signage and trees, situating the scene in an urban or semi-urban market area.
