The six chapters of the present volume describe John Thomson's travels in Malaya - from Penang to Singapore - Siam, Cambodia and Vietnam. Thomson's observations are acute, his style an easy one and the whole makes very agreeable and entertaining reading. Judith Blamer, who contributes the Introduction, focuses the reader's attention on Thomson's role as one of the very first photographers of the region; indeed, during his visit to Bangkok he was summoned to the Royal Palace to take the King's portrait and the portraits of other members of the Royal Family. |
