Saigon River, Vietnam, 1881 - A Glimpse into the Bustling Waterways of Indochina
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the year 1881, offering a rare glimpse into the vibrant life along the Saigon River in Vietnam. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their lens skillfully captures a scene that is both enchanting and historically significant. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an array of traditional Asian boats gracefully navigating through the river's waters. These transport vehicles were not only essential for daily commuting but also played a crucial role in facilitating commerce within this bustling region. The image exudes an air of tranquility as these vessels glide effortlessly across the calm surface of the river. The photograph serves as a visual postcard from an era long gone by, transporting us to a time when Vietnam was still known as Indochina. It offers valuable insights into Vietnamese culture and showcases how integral rivers like Saigon were to everyday life. Leonard de Selva has meticulously preserved this historical gem from his private collection and graciously shared it with art enthusiasts worldwide. As we admire this remarkable piece captured over 140 years ago, let us appreciate its significance as more than just another photograph; it is a testament to our collective human history and cultural heritage.
