From 1926 to 1945, he was emperor of Annam and de jure monarch of Tonkin, which were then protectorates in French Indochina, covering the present-day central and northern Vietnam. Bảo Äại ascended the throne in 1932. The abbreviated kanji script possibly reads: Xinhai Revolution. The photograph has good contrast and tonality, but has some loss of emulsion (see scan). However, this is a very rare photograph. 7.75 x 5.75 in. 20 x 14.5 cm
