Cambodia: A 1928 photograph of a young musician playing a 'chapei' in the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh.

A 'chapei dong veng' is a Khmer two-stringed, long-necked traditional guitar. The girl in the picture would most likely have played to the court of King Sisowath Monivong who was the king of Cambodia from 1927 until 1941.
