    Are you sure about the year 1806?

    The photography history:

    The photography as a usable process goes back to the 1820s with the development of chemical photography. The first permanent photo etching was an image produced in 1822 by the French inventor Nicéphore Niépce, but it was destroyed by a later attempt to duplicate it.

    So the technology would not come to Cambodia maybe at least another 10 years.

    Made in 1825 by Nicephore Niepce, this is the oldest known photo in the world. The image is a graving on a metal plate, created by modifying the soil by the sun light.
    So in 1806 the photography was not invented yet.

    And the year 1806 is not in 18th century, it is in 19th century.

    Dear Mr. Heang Kuoy,
    I am sure you are right. I could not read the year on my photo. It is almost completely erase.

    I will visit:
