EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a scene of traditional ox wagons making their way along the road to Tay Ninh in Cochinchina, Vietnam, around 1906. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple yet effective method of transportation that was commonplace during this era. Oxen, with their powerful muscles and sure-footedness, were the backbone of rural transportation in Vietnam during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The oxen were harnessed to the wagons, their strength and determination evident as they plodded along the rutted and uneven terrain. The wagons, with their high wooden sides and thatched roofs, protected their precious cargo from the elements. The road to Tay Ninh, a major commercial and administrative center in southern Vietnam, was a vital artery for the transportation of goods between the rural areas and the bustling markets and towns. The scene depicted in this photograph is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Vietnamese people, who relied on these oxen-drawn wagons to connect them to the wider world. The photograph is part of The Roseries Collection, a vast archive of historical images from around the world, and was captured by an unknown photographer. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment in history that has long since passed. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and the stories that it tells.
