EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing King Norodom of Cambodia dressed in a Siamese military uniform. Taken in 1861 by Emile Gsell, this rare print offers a glimpse into the political dynamics of Southeast Asia during that era. King Norodom I, who reigned from 1860 to 1904, is depicted here with regal poise and authority. Standing tall in his formal attire, he exudes power and prestige as the monarch of Cambodia. The photo was taken within the outer court of the palace in Bangkok, highlighting the close relationship between Cambodia and Siam (now Thailand) at that time. The image portrays an intriguing blend of Cambodian and Siamese influences through its subject's clothing choice. This fusion reflects both cultural exchange and political alliances prevalent during this period. Emile Gsell's masterful photography skills bring out every intricate detail on King Norodom's uniform while capturing his commanding presence. The full-length portrait emphasizes his stature as a ruler while also offering viewers an intimate look into his persona. Preserved within a private collection today, this historical artifact serves as a testament to the rich heritage and royal lineage of Southeast Asia. It stands as a reminder of King Norodom I's reign and his enduring impact on Cambodian history.
