EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of the Mekong River at night in Cambodia, circa 1880. The historical image transports us back in time to an era when the river was a vital lifeline for the people of Indochina. The Mekong, the 12th longest river in the world, has played a significant role in the history and culture of the region for centuries. The photograph shows the tranquil river, its dark waters reflecting the moonlit sky and the faint outlines of the surrounding landscape. The banks of the river are illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns, indicating the presence of small settlements and communities that once thrived along its shores. The image offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the people who lived and worked along the Mekong, relying on its resources for their livelihoods. The Mekong River has a rich and complex history. It has been a source of inspiration for poets and artists, a vital trade route for merchants and explorers, and a battleground for various powers seeking to control its resources. The river has also been a witness to the rise and fall of great civilizations, including the Khmer Empire, which reached its zenith during the Angkor period (802-1431 AD). This photograph is a poignant reminder of the Mekong River's historical significance and its enduring beauty. It invites us to reflect on the river's role in shaping the history and culture of the region and to appreciate its natural splendor. The image also serves as a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve moments in time, allowing us to connect with the past and to better understand the present.
