"Annamese Cambodian and Siamese Costume" is a notable work by the French explorer, naval officer, and artist Louis Delaporte (1842–1925), who is recognized for his contributions to the study and documentation of Southeast Asian art and culture. The work is a collection of illustrations and descriptions that provide a detailed account of the traditional attire and costumes of the people from Annam (a historical region in central Vietnam), Cambodia, and Siam (now Thailand), reflecting the cultural diversity and sartorial practices of these regions during the 19th century.

Delaporte, who participated in the Mekong Expedition (1866–1868) led by Ernest Doudart de Lagrée, was deeply influenced by the art and architecture of the ancient Khmer civilization. His experiences during the expedition inspired him to document the cultures of Southeast Asia meticulously. "Annamese Cambodian and Siamese Costume" serves as a visual ethnographic record, showcasing the intricate designs, patterns, and textiles that characterized the traditional clothing of these societies.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its ethnographic importance. At a time when photography was not yet widely used, Delaporte's illustrations provided valuable insights into the customs and lifestyles of the people he encountered. His attention to detail in the depiction of garments, accessories, and the overall attire offers a window into the historical context of fashion and its role in the expression of identity and social status in 19th-century Southeast Asia.

"Annamese Cambodian and Siamese Costume" is considered an important resource for historians, anthropologists, and art historians, contributing to the broader understanding of the cultural heritage of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. The work remains a testament to Delaporte's dedication to preserving the visual culture of the regions he explored and continues to be referenced in studies related to the traditional costumes and textiles of Southeast Asia.
