EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling harbour at Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City, in Indochina during the late 19th century. The image, taken between the 1880s and 1890s, showcases the grandeur and cultural richness of this Vietnamese town during the height of French colonial rule. The photograph, captured on an albumen or collodion print, presents a panoramic view of the harbour, with its sprawling canal system teeming with traditional boats and vessels, interspersed with modern steamships and sailing vessels. The harbour's edge is lined with impressive European architecture, including ornate buildings and structures, reflecting the imperial influence of the French Empire. Pedestrians and traffic can be seen along the bustling streets and promenades, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the town. In the background, the urban landscape transitions seamlessly into lush greenery, with a lake or river serving as a serene counterpoint to the hustle and bustle of the port. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and cultural exchange that took place during this era. It serves as a testament to the rich history of Indochina and the enduring allure of Saigon, a city that continues to captivate visitors with its blend of old and new, traditional and modern.
