EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant historical moment known as "The French Dispute with Siam". Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the tension between France and Siam (now Thailand) during that time. The image is part of a private collection and was originally published in The Illustrated London News on July 22,1893. In the foreground of the photo, we see the majestic Menam River flowing peacefully, reflecting the architectural beauty of Bangkok's riverside. On its banks stands a landing place where important figures disembark from their boats. Among them is King Chulalongkorn I, also known as Rama V, who played a crucial role in modernizing Siam. Accompanying him is his esteemed Queen of Siam, exuding regal elegance. This royal couple symbolizes Siamese sovereignty amidst external pressures. Their presence signifies strength and resilience against foreign interference. The photograph offers us a glimpse into Asia's past while highlighting South East Asia's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of how nations like Thailand fiercely protected their independence during colonial times. With its historical significance and artistic composition captured through photography, this image provides valuable insight into an era marked by political disputes but also highlights the grandeur of Siamese royalty and architecture.
