About the Item
An original engraving featuring a view of Siam, which is present-day Thailand, specifically a view of the city of Ayutthaya with numerous boats depicted on the river. The title, "Vuë de Siam et divers balons," translates from French to "View of Siam and Various Boats."
This image shows a bustling river scene, a key aspect of Ayutthaya, which was known for its extensive waterways and trade. The boats, or "balons," are of various sizes and likely represent the diverse commercial and daily activities that took place along the river. The presence of numerous boats suggests the importance of river traffic and trade to the city's economy and culture.
In the background, the cityscape is detailed with buildings that reflect the architectural style of the period. The foreground features a prominent pagoda or stupa, which is a typical element in Buddhist architecture, signifying the religious significance of the location. The array of structures likely includes palaces, temples, and defensive walls, illustrating Ayutthaya's status as a significant urban center.
The engraving comes from the "Histoire Générale des Voyages," a comprehensive travel account published in Paris by Didot, which held royal approval and privilege. This print would be part of a series that illustrated various accounts of voyages and discoveries from around the world, aimed at a European audience eager for knowledge about distant lands.
