Title
The King of Siam's Eclipse - A Display of Power and Friendship
Description
With Siam surrounded by British territories in the West and French territories in the East, King Rama IV strategically invited Sir Harry Ord, a British military diplomat to his expedition in Siam and also independently granted a French expedition team to conduct observations in Wha-koa. This was to gain the trust of both parties and ensure that neither Britain nor France would attempt to capture Siam for their respective empires.
