EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance to Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, during the height of French colonial rule in Indochina, circa 1901. The image showcases the Garde Indigène (Native Guards), a colonial military force composed primarily of Vietnamese soldiers, standing guard at the gateway to the city. The French colonial administration recruited local men to serve as soldiers and officers in the Garde Indigène, which was intended to maintain order and control in the colonies while also providing opportunities for education and advancement for Vietnamese men. The grandeur of the colonial architecture is on full display in this photograph, with the ornate gateway and the imposing barracks buildings serving as a symbol of French power and influence in Vietnam. The Vietnamese guards, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, stand rigidly at attention, their faces expressionless and their eyes fixed on the horizon. The contrast between the colonial architecture and the native soldiers highlights the complex dynamics of colonialism and the intersection of cultures in Indochina during this period. The Garde Indigène played a significant role in the colonial administration of Vietnam, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the colonial military forces that helped shape the political and social landscape of the region. The image also underscores the enduring impact of colonialism on Vietnam and the ways in which it continues to shape the country's history and identity.
