EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print from the album "Cochinchine - Vues de l' Interieur" captures a bridge over the majestic Mekong River in Vietnam during the late 19th century. The image, taken by an unidentified photographer, showcases the intricate architecture of the bridge and provides a glimpse into daily life along this important waterway.
The scene is bustling with activity as small boats navigate the river below, while nearby houses line the banks. This snapshot of history offers a window into French colonial rule in Cochinchine (now part of the Mekong Delta and South-East Vietnam) and highlights the rich cultural heritage of this region.
The bridge serves as both a practical means of transportation and a symbol of connection between different communities living along the river. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess, showcasing how infrastructure can shape landscapes and facilitate movement across vast bodies of water.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our past for future generations to appreciate. The Alinari Archives in Florence have done an excellent job curating this piece, allowing us to delve into the complex history and vibrant culture that define Vietnam's identity.
