Street Scene in Saigon with Cyclos, Automobiles, and Military Trucks, South Vietnam, 1964
Cyclo pedicabs, an American sedan, and pedestrians share a bustling Saigon boulevard in 1964, lined with French colonial-era buildings and a Studebaker dealership sign. Military trucks visible in the background hint at the growing American presence in South Vietnam in the year before large-scale U.S. combat troops arrived, capturing a city still very much engaged in ordinary civilian life.
