EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hluang Indrinontay, aged 46,1862" showcases the remarkable profile of a distinguished man named Hluang Indrinontay. The image is an albumen print created by Jacques-Philippe Potteau and Louis Rousseau in 1862. Hluang Indrinontay was the Chief Officer for municipal tax collection in Bangkok, serving the first King of Siam during that time. Born to a Chinese father and a Siamese mother in Bangkok (now Thailand), he held a significant role as he was responsible for handling royal gifts sent to the Emperor of France. In this portrait, Hluang Indrinontay stands proudly adorned in full traditional dress. His attire includes an exquisite sword at his side, symbolizing his authority and status as a tax collector. This ceremonial outfit reflects the rich cultural heritage of Southeast Asia. The photograph beautifully captures Hluang Indrinontay's dignified presence and offers us a glimpse into Thai society during the mid-19th century. It serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. Displayed at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Canada, this anonymous gift from 2008 allows viewers to appreciate not only the individual depicted but also gain insights into Southeast Asian history and customs through photography. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece of art for all to admire its beauty and significance within our global cultural tapestry.
