Taken by
Edward Eugene Masters, these vintage photos capture Luang Prabang, the historic royal capital of Laos, in 1975: a pivotal year of political and social change. The images show the city’s temples, streets, riverside scenes, and daily life at a moment when the country was undergoing major transformation.
From traditional architecture and local residents to quiet moments along the Mekong, the photos preserve a visual record of Luang Prabang as it appeared just before and during a profound shift in its history. They offer a rare and evocative glimpse of the city more than fifty years ago.
