EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in Burma's history. Titled "Burma: Bre girls afraid of what the camera might reveal" it showcases the fear and apprehension of young Burmese girls when faced with a camera. Taken by Georges Bertin Scott, this photograph is part of a private collection. It was originally created as an illustration for the book "Burma and Beyond" by Sir J George Scott KCIE, published in 1932. The image depicts three young girls who appear to be terrified at the prospect of having their picture taken. The setting is reminiscent of early 20th-century Burma, also known as Myanmar today. The photographer captures the genuine emotions on these children's faces - fear, panic, and perhaps even cowardice. Their expressions speak volumes about their vulnerability and innocence. This photo serves as a reminder that photography can evoke powerful emotions and capture moments that transcend time. It highlights the impact that cameras had on people during this era when they were still relatively new technology. Overall, this image offers a glimpse into Burmese society from decades ago while shedding light on universal human experiences such as fear and vulnerability.
