This print is catalogued under the general title "Photographic Views of Thailand," so it belongs to a set of scenes of the country rather than a single named site. It comes from the Frank and Frances Carpenter Collection at the Library of Congress. Frank Carpenter was an American travel writer whose newspaper columns covered distant lands for readers at home, and the photographs gathered under his name were meant to illustrate that kind of reporting. Worth noticing: the country was called Siam until 1939, so the modern name in the title reflects later usage rather than the period when the picture was made.
