EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Amerapoora, Barracks of the Burmese Guard, 1 September-21 October 1855" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century Myanmar. Captured by Captain Linnaeus Tripe, a British photographer renowned for his architectural and landscape photography, this image showcases the remarkable architecture of Amerapoora's barracks. The photograph transports us to a time when Britain had a strong presence in Myanmar. The intricate timber structure with its thatched roof stands proudly amidst lush palm trees and natural surroundings. The contrast between the white barracks and the dark foliage creates a visually striking composition. Tripe's expertise in capturing both exterior details and natural elements is evident in this salted paper print from waxed paper negative. His meticulous attention to detail allows viewers to appreciate not only the grandeur of the building but also the beauty of nature surrounding it. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage art collection, this photograph serves as a valuable historical document. It offers us a glimpse into an era long gone while highlighting Captain Linnaeus Tripe's skillful eye for capturing architectural marvels within their natural context. With its timeless appeal and artistic quality, this print invites us to explore Myanmar's rich cultural heritage through one man's lens.
