Product Description

Lao Prints covers mainly prints and photos which were not used as postcards. It gives a wider angle of photos taken in Laos after mid 19 century. If the French had not attacked and conquered the countries later called French Indochina there would have been hardly any records about Laos. Therefore, we have to be grateful to the different French explorers and administrators to leave us many early views of Laos. It also contains some maps, real photos, share certificates of companies working in LAOS. Included are prints from Siam and the French attack on Siam in 1893 as Siam was the suzerain of Laos and the French could not take over Laos and Cambodia without first defeating Siam and forcing Siam to cede territories to France. That the French could not take more Siamese territory as they did was due to the refusal of the other big colonial empire of the UK to allow it.
