Temple in Bangkok - Thailand, circa 1875 Photographer:
Attributed to Francis Chit Ref:
SK01409
The details surrounding this photograph of an exquisite Bangkok temple are unclear. It is believed that the Thai photographer Francis Chit gave the title 'View in [sic] temple grounds of Wat Cheng' to a similar photograph of this building. Given that there appears to be no historical record of a Wat-Cheng however, it is possible that the name is just a different spelling for the English term 'Wat-Cheen', which is the appellation given to a Chinese Temple of the Buddist or Taoist faith.
