Street Scene with Market Vendors, Saigon, South Vietnam, 1964

Saigon Street Scene, 1964. Vietnamese women carry market goods in woven baskets balanced on traditional bamboo shoulder poles across a busy Saigon plaza. Storefront advertisements, a horse-drawn cart, and passing scooters reflect the everyday commercial life of South Vietnam's capital in the early years of the American military build-up, before the city's transformation by the escalating war.
