Vientiane, Laos in 1930

An unknown photographer took these amateur snapshots in Laos in 1930. They made their way to England and are presently being sold off individually to private collectors. But this gives you an interesting sense of the past from almost 80 years ago.

Images like this helped to inspire many of the poems in my book DEMONSTRA from Innsmouth Free Press. I'll let you figure out which ones.
