EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transport us back in time to the bustling streets of Saigon, Indo-China, around the turn of the 20th century. Circa 1890, the image depicts a Chinese street vendor skillfully selling his wares to a curious crowd. Saigon, then a thriving colonial city under French rule, was a melting pot of diverse cultures, and this photograph beautifully encapsulates the vibrant multicultural scene. The vendor, with a determined expression and a proud posture, sets up his makeshift stall on the cobblestone street. He is surrounded by an array of intriguing items, from delicate porcelain bowls to colorful textiles and exotic fruits. The passersby, dressed in a mix of traditional Vietnamese and Western attire, are drawn to his wares, their faces reflecting a sense of intrigue and wonder. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the architectural landscape of Saigon during this era. The ornate European-style buildings, with their intricate facades and grand columns, stand tall against the backdrop of the bustling marketplace. The narrow streets, filled with the aroma of spices and the sounds of lively bartering, add to the sensory experience of this scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Saigon during the Indo-China period. It invites us to explore the stories of the people who lived and worked in this fascinating city and offers a unique window into the past.
