EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Surveying in Upper Burma" takes us on a journey back to the late 19th century. The image, created by William Ralston, showcases a group of surveyors diligently at work in the exotic landscapes of Upper Burma. Intriguingly, this illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on February 12,1887. It offers us a glimpse into the challenges faced by these brave individuals as they navigate through unfamiliar terrain with their prismatic compasses. The scene is set against a backdrop of majestic pagodas that dot the horizon, adding an air of mystique to the already enchanting surroundings. As evening approaches, one can almost feel the tranquility settling over this picturesque location. Amidst their important task of measuring angles and distances for mapping purposes, we see hints of recreation and camaraderie among these dedicated professionals. Perhaps during their breaks from surveying duties or after completing another successful day's work, they take leisurely strolls along the Chindwin River banks. However, it is essential not to forget that danger lurks nearby. With references to dacoits (bandits) and crows' nests (watchtowers), we are reminded that this region was not without its perils during those times. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from its private collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today. This print serves as both a visual feast and an intriguing window into an era long
