The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases the remarkable topography and rich cultural heritage of this enchanting region. As we gaze at the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the awe-inspiring view of Indo-China's great bend. The meandering Meh Kong River flows gracefully through lush green landscapes, inviting explorers to unravel its mysteries. In this scene, we catch a glimpse of Siamese wrestlers engaged in a fierce battle, showcasing their strength and agility. The exploration is not limited to human encounters alone; it extends into mythical realms as well.
