EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1890, showcasing a new road with the first electric tram in Bangkok, Thailand. The image captures a significant moment in history when modernization was making its way into everyday life. In this scene of progress and daily life, we see a bustling street filled with houses, pedestrians, horse-drawn carts, and an array of vehicles. The introduction of the electric tram marked a turning point in transportation for the city, providing a more efficient mode of travel. The photograph beautifully portrays the fusion between traditional Asian architecture and emerging Western influences. A prominent pylon stands tall amidst the evolving landscape as a symbol of technological advancement. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come since then. It sparks curiosity about what life must have been like during that time period - witnessing firsthand the transformative power that innovation brings. Although discontinued in 1968, this historic tramway system left an indelible mark on Bangkok's urban development. This print allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also highlights photography as an art form capable of capturing moments frozen in time.
