Légende

The Far East: the late Crown Prince of Siam and some of his brothers, 1895. 'The royal family in Siam has sustained a severe bereavement by the death, on Jan. 4, of the Crown Prince, who succumbed to complicated kidney disease...exactly seven years ago, the young man who has just passed away was designated Crown Prince...Illness supervened about Dec. 24 last, and although European and Siamese physicians did all that lay in their power, it became evident that the Crown Prince's life could not be saved'. Maha Vajirunhis, Crown Prince of Siam (1878-1895) was the first Crown Prince of the Chakri dynasty, and first son of King Chulalongkorn and Queen Savang Vadhana. He died unexpectedly of typhoid fever at age 16. Photograph from "The Peoples and Politics of the Far East" by Henry Norman, [Fisher Unwin), published in "Illustrated London News", 1895.
