Siam

"COPYRIGHT" Text Variations
Appears in the lower left quadrant of the card, in the grassy area just above the three spears and the words "SACRED WHITE". (This is the variety shown in the full-size card, above).
Appears in the far upper right corner of the card, superimposed over the latticework framing the Bangkok scene.
Both varieties shown are known to exist only on cards with the "Arbuckles'" spelling in the Explanatory text on the back. (I've never seen a Siam card with the "Arbuckle's" spelling, and don't currently believe that that particular variety exists on any cards numbered 91-100 in the series.)
