EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the lush greenery and serene tranquility of French Indo-China, circa 1900, a Vietnamese postman delivers mail on horseback from one village to another. Dressed in traditional Vietnamese attire, the postman skillfully maneuvers his horse through the winding paths of the countryside, carrying a heavy load of letters and parcels on his back. The national flag of France, fluttering proudly in the wind, adorns the side of his mailbag, symbolizing the far-reaching communication network that connected the diverse communities of Indo-China. The postal service played a vital role in the French colonial administration, enabling the exchange of news, ideas, and goods between the various regions of Indo-China and the metropole. The postman's journey was a testament to the resilience and dedication of the postal service, as he braved the challenges of the rugged terrain, inclement weather, and long distances to ensure the timely delivery of mail. This evocative image captures a moment in history when the power of communication transcended borders and brought people closer together, despite the vast distances that separated them. The postman's horseback ride through the picturesque Vietnamese countryside is a poignant reminder of the enduring human connection that has long defined the world of communications, even in the most remote corners of the globe.
