EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in 1895 by Charles Barbant, transports us to the bustling streets of Bangkok, Thailand. The image is part of "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" a publication written by Elisee Reclus and published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a vibrant cityscape filled with intricate architecture and lively people going about their daily lives. The paved street is lined with buildings that showcase the unique Siamese architectural style of the 19th century. A towering tree stands proudly amidst the urban landscape, providing a touch of nature's beauty to this bustling metropolis. As we gaze at this monochrome scene, it becomes evident that Bangkok has always been a city where tradition meets modernity. The paving slabs on the road reflect its progress as a capital city while preserving its rich cultural heritage. Charles Barbant's engraving skillfully captures the essence of Bangkok during this era – an amalgamation of old-world charm and rapid development. This print serves as a valuable historical document, allowing us to glimpse into Siam (modern-day Thailand) at a time when it was undergoing significant transformations. With each detail meticulously etched onto paper, we are transported back to 1895 – witnessing the energy and vibrancy that have come to define one of Asia's most captivating cities throughout history.
