EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph depicts the majestic Golden Temple at Pegu, also known as Bago, in Burma (now Myanmar). The temple, which is covered in gold leaf, is a significant Buddhist pilgrimage site and was once the capital city of the Mon Kingdom in the 15th and 16th centuries. The image captures the intricate details of the temple's architecture, with its tall spires, ornate decorations, and the shimmering reflection of the temple in the surrounding pond. In the foreground of the print, a Burmese tree fort can be seen. These tree forts were used as defensive structures during times of war, providing a strategic advantage for the defenders. The fort is built around the trunks of large trees, with wooden platforms and cannons positioned at various levels. The Burmese people, dressed in traditional costumes, can be seen in the background, adding a sense of scale and liveliness to the scene. This print is from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen, Germany around 1835-1840. Goedsche's gallery was a significant contribution to the field of ethnography and anthropology, providing detailed and accurate records of the peoples and customs of various parts of the world. This particular print offers a glimpse into the history and culture of Burma during the 19th century, providing valuable insights into a time and place that is often shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
