The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: VIETNAM 1964 VIETNAM SAIGON
Color snapshots taken in and around Saigon in 1964 record the South Vietnamese capital before the major American escalation, from Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica and the Ben Thanh Market clock tower to cyclos, market vendors, and shophouse streets. Coastal bays and a rural hamlet round out a rare civilian view of a country on the eve of prolonged war.
