Washburn spent the Summer of 1917 in Maine. He left in Octobr, with the intention of traveling to Vladivostok to join his brother Stanley, who was to be part of an American mission to liaise with the Russian Provisional government. The Bolshevik revolution upended those plans, and he ended up traveling to Bangkok, where he stayed until February 1918.

In Bangkok he executed a remarkable series of plates. For an excellent discussion of his time there, see One Night in Bangkok - Cadwallader Washburn and the King of Siam at the Eastern Impressions website. Washburn himself published an article on Bangkok, "Siamese Architecture"., in the American Magazine of Art, 1919.
