EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures King Sisowath of Cambodia, also known as Preah Bat Samdech Preah Boromaneath Moan Nath Reach Thireach Thireach Baromaneat Reach Thireach Thireach Sisowath Monivong, in his resplendent royal regalia from the early 1910s. King Sisowath, born in 1840, reigned as the King of Cambodia from 1904 until his death in 1927. During his rule, Cambodia was under French protection. The image showcases the rich fusion of traditional Eastern and Western influences in the royal court of the time. King Sisowath is depicted wearing a headdress adorned with precious gems, a pagoda-style hat, and a samurai-style hat, symbolizing the cultural diversity of the region. He is seated on a throne, holding a sword, exuding an aura of power and authority. The royal attire reflects the opulence and grandeur of the Eastern monarchy, with intricate designs and vibrant colors. The French influence is evident in the European-style collar and cuffs of the king's robe. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich and complex history of Cambodia during the early 20th century, a time when Eastern and Western cultures intertwined, shaping the unique identity of the region. King Sisowath's reign marked a period of stability and modernization in Cambodia, and this photograph serves as a testament to the majesty and elegance of the Cambodian monarchy during that time.
