New Pancient History Templesost 1900s Angkor In The Eyes Of The World

A wonderful story from the early 1900s of a young Cambodian girl’s dream to join what we know today as the Royal Ballet of Cambodia. At that time, under King Sisowath, French records note the dance troupe consisting of around 100-120 girls including lead dancers, subjects, and students. This particular story and imagery comes from The Illustrated London News of 1923, originally written in French and translated by the publication. The images have been upscaled for the internet and I’ll post the story in full and unedited, with a couple of additions for clarity in brackets. The photographer’s name is not mentioned, possibly the author.A wonderful story from the early 1900s of a young Cambodian girl’s dream to join what we know today as the Royal Ballet of Cambodia.
