EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of life in Haiphong, Vietnam in the year 1900. In the bustling streets of this vibrant city, a rickshaw (shoot grows) can be seen transporting passengers through the crowded thoroughfares. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Indochina, showcasing the unique mode of transportation that was once prevalent in the region.
The rickshaw driver, known as a "shoot grow," exudes strength and determination as he navigates his way through the busy streets with his human-powered vehicle. This scene provides a window into daily life during this period, highlighting the reliance on manual labor and traditional methods of transport.
Against a backdrop of colonialism and political unrest, this photograph offers a poignant reminder of Vietnam's complex history and struggle for independence. The presence of French influence is subtly hinted at in the architecture and street signs visible in the background.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to an era defined by resilience, community spirit, and cultural pride. It serves as both a historical document and a work of art that continues to resonate with viewers today.
