EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Haiphong, circa 1920. The image showcases a postal bus parked on the bustling streets of this historical region, which once bordered China and covered Vietnamese territories. Captured by an anonymous French photographer from the 20th century, this snapshot is now preserved in the Archives Nationales-Centre des Archives d'Outre-Mer. The scene exudes an air of colonialism as we observe a male staff member standing beside the postal bus. In the background, a rickshaw can be seen being pulled along by its driver, adding to the rich tapestry of transport options available during that era. Haiphong's urban landscape comes alive through this photograph; it was part of French Indochina at that time and played a significant role as a French protectorate colony. This image serves as a testament to both cultural exchange and historical documentation. As we delve into this fascinating slice of history, one cannot help but marvel at how far transportation has evolved since then. This picture captures not only moments frozen in time but also highlights the importance of mail delivery within these colonial territories. With its impeccable composition and timeless charm, this archival print offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in South East Asian history while appreciating the artistry behind early photography techniques.
