About the Item
Cochinchina Woman Costume Print – Antique Hand-Colored Lithograph, 1854
This antique hand-colored lithograph, published in 1854 in Album des Voyages Anciens et Modernes by Martial Ardant Frères, depicts a woman from Cochinchina (southern Vietnam), dressed in traditional attire. The figure is shown in profile, holding a white cloth in her hands, her clothing combining elegance with practicality suited to her environment.
She wears a long red tunic with side slits, revealing layers of green and blue beneath, paired with voluminous blue trousers that fall loosely to her ankles. On her head she wears a wide straw hat, tied with ribbons under her chin, while her hair is neatly arranged beneath a blue wrap. Barefoot, she stands with a calm demeanor, reflecting the simplicity and grace of daily dress.
Cochinchina was one of the regions of Vietnam that fascinated Europeans in the 19th century, particularly as French colonial ambitions in Southeast Asia grew during this period. Costume prints such as this presented an image of Asian attire to a European audience eager for visual accounts of distant cultures. The attire combines bright hand-colored elements with a restrained pose, balancing ethnographic interest with artistic idealization.
The print reflects the French interest in Southeast Asia prior to the formal establishment of colonial rule in the 1860s. It captures both the distinctiveness of regional dress and the European perception of Vietnamese daily life. For modern collectors, the lithograph is valuable not only as a decorative piece but also as a historical artifact of how Vietnamese culture was visually represented to 19th-century Europe.
The hand coloring remains fresh, especially in the contrast between the deep red tunic and blue trousers, which creates a vibrant yet harmonious palette.
Condition report: Light toning and occasional foxing in the margins. Colors bright and well-preserved. Plate mark visible. Paper stable with wide margins intact.
Framing tips: A dark wood frame with a cream mat will emphasize the warmth of the red tunic. A gilt frame with a pale blue mat will highlight the trousers and harmonize with the overall color balance.
