EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Phnom Penh - The six Favourites of King Sisowath," offers a glimpse into the royal court of Cambodia during the early 1910s. King Sisowath Reach Thireach, who reigned from 1894 to 1927, is depicted here with his six favorite consorts. The King, dressed in traditional Cambodian attire, sits regally on a throne, surrounded by his beloved companions. Each of the women, dressed in elegant silk garments adorned with intricate gold and gemstone embellishments, gazes intently at the monarch with affection and devotion. The setting for this royal scene is the ancient capital city of Phnom Penh, which was then under French colonial rule. The city's rich history and cultural heritage are reflected in the ornate decor of the throne room, with its intricately carved wooden panels and gilded accents. The room is bathed in soft, natural light filtering in through the windows, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The six favored consorts of King Sisowath were an integral part of the royal court, playing important roles in the political and social life of the kingdom. Their presence and influence were a testament to the King's power and wealth, as well as his ability to maintain a harmonious and prosperous court. This photograph is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the personal life of a Cambodian monarch during a period of significant historical change. It offers a unique perspective on the culture, traditions, and social dynamics of Cambodia in the early 20th century.
