EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in Burmah" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Mandalay in 1887. The engraving, created by Amedee Forestier and featured in The Illustrated London News, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and military presence of this exotic land. The image transports us to a bustling street scene where mounted infantry soldiers patrol alongside local Burmese coolies carrying heavy yokes. The merchant street is alive with activity as traders go about their business, while a majestic Burmese pony gracefully makes its way through the crowd. Cattle roam freely, adding an element of rural charm amidst the urban landscape. One cannot help but be captivated by the traditional dress worn by both locals and soldiers alike. It reflects the rich cultural heritage that permeates every corner of Burma. In this snapshot from history, we witness not only the beauty of this distant land but also catch a glimpse of its real ruler – an enigmatic figure whose influence extends far beyond what meets the eye. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to immerse ourselves in a time long gone and explore Burma's unique blend of tradition and modernity. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply curious about different cultures, "Sketches in Burmah" is sure to transport you on a visual journey through history.
