This film was shot by French filmmaker Gabriel Veyre sometime between 1899 and 1900 at the French colony of Annam, French Indochina (now Vietnam). The film was screened on January 20, 1901, in Lyon, France, under the title “Indo-Chine: Annamese children picking up cash in front of the ladies’ pagoda.”
The women in the video were Madame Paul Doumer, the wife of Joseph Athanase Paul Doumer, the Governor-General of French Indochina from 1897 to 1902, and her daughter.
Between 1899 and1900, Gabriel Veyre traveled across the French colonies in Vietnam. He shot around 39 motion pictures and photographs for the French government to exhibit at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle.
