....who became Phra Workangapathan. Was the King's fiance', but the marriage never finalized. Attained a number of 'companions' but didn't marry until a year before his passing - a one Suvadhana Chao Luxameetawat {a commoner}. Odd, that most of his coutships were of nobel lineage with the exception of the one he finally made his bride.

HM King Chulalongkorn encouraged his sons to dabble into a number of ventures, one being to explore and practice photography. Curio about this paricular photo itself, as it is the cover shot for Maurizio Peleggi's Lords of Things: The Fashioning of the Siamese Monarchy's Modern Image. A fascinating read, by the way.

Typical style that fused Thai-Western models during Chulalongkorn's reign.....{short-lived use}. Roughly prefered from 1890 to 1910, almost exclusively for higher and elite circles.
