First published in 1875, this book describes John Thomson's travels in Malaya - from Penang to Singapore - and in Siam, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Judith Blamer's introduction focuses 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.
