Vietnam: 'Dress of the Tonkinese', c.1780s
A coloured copper engraving purporting to show the dress of the people of Tonkin in northern Vietnam, published in Moor's Voyages and Travels (London, 1778). The blonde hair is difficult to explain except as artistic licence on the part of the engraver in London, who had doubtless never been to Vietnam.
