(RAMA V OF SIAM)
Chulalongkorn (1853 - 1910) King of Siam. His reign was characterized by the modernization of Siam, immense government and social reforms, and territorial cessions to the British Empire and French Indochina. Rare pair of carte de visite photos, each 2 1/2" x 4", depicting individually the king from chest, up in military uniform, and half-length in royal garb. No backstamp, very good.
