EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "View of Bangkok" takes us back in time to the bustling cityscape of Siam in 1893. The print, originally featured in Le Petit Journal on August 12th of that year, showcases the remarkable talent of Henri Meyer. With its intricate details and vibrant hues, this piece offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Thailand. The scene unfolds with an array of boats gracefully gliding through the port's tranquil waters. From traditional junks to smaller vessels, each boat adds a sense of movement and liveliness to the composition. In the distance, a majestic pagoda rises above the horizon, serving as a testament to Bangkok's architectural splendor. Meyer masterfully captures both the grandeur and intimacy within this snapshot of everyday life in Siam. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from meticulously rendered buildings along the waterfront to tiny figures engaged in various activities on land and sea. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are transported back over a century ago when Bangkok was still known as Siam—a time when trade flourished at its bustling harbor and ancient temples stood tall against modernization. This print serves as a visual reminder that even amidst progress and change, there will always be glimpses into our past worth cherishing for generations to come.
