A Horse-Drawn Cab Journey Down Adran Street, Saigon, Vietnam, 1905 This evocative photograph captures the historic charm of Saigon's Adran Street, named after Pierre Pigneau de Behaine, a French missionary who served in the city during the late 18th century. The image, taken in 1905, depicts a horse-drawn cab (Number 264) making its way down Rue d'Adran, now known as Vo Duy Nguyen Street. Bishop Pigneau de Behaine, born in 1741, was a significant figure in the history of Saigon. He arrived in the city in 1774 and played a crucial role in the establishment of the French colonial rule. The bishop's influence extended beyond religious matters, as he also advocated for the welfare of the local population and contributed to the development of education and healthcare in the region. The street named in his honor, Adran Street, is home to the Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens, a popular tourist attraction that continues to draw visitors from around the world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the horse-drawn cabs that once dominated the city's streets, providing transportation for its residents and visitors. The horse-drawn cab, with its elegant design and ornate details, adds to the historic ambiance of the scene. The image also highlights the rich cultural heritage of Saigon, which blends elements of French colonial architecture with traditional Vietnamese influences. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and the enduring allure of its streets. The horse-drawn cab, a relic of a bygone era, continues to capture the imagination of those who explore the vibrant and dynamic city of Saigon.
