EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1906, capturing the majestic Pyit-that, Palace of Mandalay in Burma. The image was skillfully captured by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown but left behind a remarkable piece of history. Preserved at the National Army Museum in London, this photograph is part of an album created by Lt. Col. Arthur Johnstone Richardson, Col. G. C. Sartorious, and Lt. C. L Estridge. The Pyit-that Palace stood as a symbol of grandeur and power until its unfortunate demolition in 1945 during World War II. Its intricate architectural design showcases the beauty of Burmese vernacular architecture with elements reminiscent of pagodas found throughout Myanmar. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the palace's magnificence against a backdrop that exudes mystique and tranquility. It serves as a testament to Burma's rich cultural heritage and its significance as "the center of the universe" for many locals. Through this photograph, we are transported to an era long gone but forever preserved through artistry and documentation. It allows us to appreciate not only the technical prowess behind early photography but also provides insight into historical events that shaped our world today. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, let us marvel at how it captures both architectural brilliance and cultural essence within a single frame – reminding us once again why photography is truly an art form
