King and Crown Prince in front of Throne Room [Investiture of Crown Prince Maha Vajirunhis, Bangkok]. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Historical Events
View looking towards the balcony of the throne hall, where the young Crown Prince stands in ceremonial dress, with King Chulalongkorn beside him. A gilded throne carried on poles by retainers stands in front of the platform.
A copy of this print was exhibited in Bangkok in 1996: 'King Chulalongkorn's eldest son by Queen Sri Sawarinthira was called Maha Vajirunhis. He was named Crown Prince when he was nine. Up to that time there had been no official appointment of a successor to the throne, which caused many deadly rivalries among the numerous claimants in previous centuries. Crown Prince Vajirunhis dies in 1895 when he was only sixteen, and the succession then passed to the next eldest prince of rank, who in 1910 ascended the throne as King Vajiravudh' ( Henry Ginsburg, 'Thai Art and Culture. Historic Manuscripts from Western Collections' (British Library, London, 2000, p. 50).
