EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in Burmah" takes us back to the year 1886, immersing us in a scene of historical significance. Created by Amedee Forestier and now part of a private collection, this engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News. The image depicts an intriguing moment where prisoners are presenting a military letter of thanks. Dacoit prisoners from Burma stand before European residents, conveying their gratitude for some unknown act or assistance. The setting is Mandalay, one of the most prominent cities in Myanmar at that time. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures the expressions on each person's face – curiosity, appreciation, and perhaps even skepticism. The composition transports us to another era, allowing us to witness this unique encounter between different cultures and backgrounds. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the complex dynamics that existed during British colonial rule in Burma. It serves as a reminder of the diverse interactions that took place within these territories and sheds light on lesser-known aspects of history. Bridgeman Images has done an exceptional job preserving this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection. As we admire it today, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to spark our curiosity about past events and encourage further exploration into our shared heritage.
