Title:

The Anglo-Siamese Commission, 1889. Photographer: Unknown

Scope & Content:

Genre: Portrait Photography

Group portrait, probably taken at Fort Stedman, of members of the Anglo-Siamese Boundary Commission. The sitters are identified as follows: Colonel E. Travers, Surgeon Joseph Kinnear Close, Captain Hugh Milbourne Jackson, William John Archer, [?P.J.] Doran, Captain Francis John Pink, James George Scott, Ney Elias. A cropped version of this print, showing only the right side, is reproduced in G.E. Mitton (Lady Scott), 'Scott of the Shan Hills' (London, 1936), facing p. 164. This is probably one of the photographs referred to in Scott's diary for 5 and 6 December: 'Took two photos of the Commission in the morning. Came out fairly well at night...[6th] Commission negatives not bad one nearly very good' (OIOC Mss Eur F278/4 f. 97).

[Albumen print, 229x190mm].
