Mongkut-Pierce calling card
Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles
Bangkok, Thailand
King Mongkut learned English through personal study and instruction from American missionaries in Siam. His fluency enabled him to translate official letters before the court, meet informally with U.S. envoys, and correspond with presidents in his own hand, as demonstrated in this letter to President Franklin Pierce.
