- Description
This set of images of Thailand was acquired by the American Geographical Society from Robert Larimore Pendleton (1890 -1957), soil scientist and Professor of Geography at John Hopkins University. The pictures were taken during Pendleton 's research visits to Thailand from the mid 1930s to 1950s. Pendleton served as agricultural adviser to the United Nations FAO Mission to Siam [Thailand] in 1947-1948 and as the soil scientist at the US Mutual Security Agency's Special Technical and Economic Mission to Thailand in 1952-1953.
The Bangkok heavy clay may plow up quite cloddy. Here the comb harrow (krat) is being used to break up the clods, level, and fine the mud, and also remove the weeds. Bangkhen [Bang Khen], Bangkok, Central Thailand. September 1951.
