EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance to the Pagoda of the Marble Mountain in Vietnam, then known as Annam, during the 1920s. The serene setting is a stark contrast to the bustling activity of the people and the priest (bonze) making his descent. Dressed in traditional robes, the bonze exudes a sense of calm and spirituality as he navigates the intricately carved marble staircase. The Marble Mountains, located near Da Nang (then known as Tourane), were a popular pilgrimage site for both Vietnamese locals and European travelers during the colonial era. This image, taken in 1922, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam during a time of significant change. The books and men in the foreground add an intriguing layer to the scene. It is unclear whether they are scholars or travelers, but their presence emphasizes the importance of knowledge and exploration in understanding the world around us. The racial and ethnic diversity of the people in the photograph highlights the interconnectedness of different cultures and communities. This photograph is a reminder of the past, a testament to the enduring beauty of Vietnam's history, and a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage for future generations. Today, the Marble Mountains and the Pagoda continue to draw visitors from around the world, offering a glimpse into the past while also reflecting the vibrant and dynamic present.
