EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic view of Rue Dupuis and the iconic gateway to the ancient city of Hanoi, Vietnam, dating back to 1880. The image transports us back in time to the 1880s, an era marked by the fusion of Eastern and Western influences, as reflected in the architectural styles of the buildings lining the street. Rue Dupuis, named after a French colonial administrator, was a bustling commercial and residential area during the French colonial period. The street was home to numerous shops, cafes, and residences, attracting both locals and foreigners. The gateway in the photograph marks the eastern entrance to the Old Quarter, a historic area of Hanoi that has preserved its traditional architecture and vibrant culture. The gateway, with its intricate carvings and ornate design, stands as a testament to the rich history and artistic heritage of Vietnam. The gateway was built during the Ly Dynasty (1010-1225 AD), making it over 900 years old. Despite the passage of time and the influences of various cultures, the gateway remains an enduring symbol of Hanoi's past and a source of pride for its people. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history and cultural heritage of Hanoi, Vietnam, during the late 19th century. It invites us to explore the stories and experiences of a bygone era, and to appreciate the enduring beauty and resilience of this remarkable city.
