EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic Bridge over Rach Lang River in the district of Saigon, back in 1885. Taken by a talented French photographer from the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The bridge itself was an architectural marvel, designed by none other than Gustave Eiffel, renowned for his engineering prowess and famous for creating the Eiffel Tower. The image showcases the intricate metalwork of this colonial-era structure, highlighting its elegance and strength. As one gazes upon it, they are transported to a time when Vietnam was still under French rule as part of Indochina. This photo serves as a reminder of that historical period and its lasting impact on Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon). Not only does this photograph capture the beauty of wrought iron craftsmanship but it also symbolizes economical construction methods employed during that era. It stands as a testament to both human ingenuity and artistic vision. As we admire this remarkable piece of history through photography, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also reflect on how bridges like these connect people and cultures across time and space.
