This print by Robert Francis showcases the enchanting sight of houses on stilts along the Rach Thi Nghe, a backwater of the Saigon River in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The image captures the essence of tradition and cultural heritage against a backdrop of urban development. Underneath a clear blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds, these stilted structures stand tall, reflecting their vibrant colors onto the calm waters below. Each house exudes its own unique charm and character, showcasing the diversity of Vietnamese architecture. Surrounding palm trees add to the picturesque scene, creating an oasis-like atmosphere amidst this bustling metropolitan city.
