EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling street scene in Bangkok, Siam, back in 1898. The creator of this remarkable piece is Christian Wilhelm Allers, an artist known for his detailed illustrations and writings. In the center of the frame stands a barefoot policeman, representing law and order amidst the lively atmosphere. The image transports us to a bygone era where men and women go about their daily lives dressed in traditional attire. It offers a glimpse into the occupations and professions that defined Thai society during that time. The uniformed police officer commands attention with his authoritative presence despite being barefoot. Allers' lithograph was originally featured in his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), published by Union Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft in Stuttgart. This particular print showcases Allers' talent for capturing intricate details while evoking a sense of place through his artistry. As we observe this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how much has changed over the past century. Yet, it also serves as a testament to our shared human experiences across time and cultures. This print is not just an artistic creation but also an invaluable historical document that allows us to connect with the people who once walked these streets long ago.
