EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "No. 23. Pugahm Myo [Pagan]. Figures in Damayangyee Pagoda [Dhamma-yan-gyi]" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Burma, now known as Myanmar. The image, captured by Captain Linnaeus Tripe in 1855 and printed a year later, is part of the renowned album "Views of Burma". The photograph transports us inside the sacred Dhammayangyi temple in Bagan, revealing a mesmerizing display of sculptures representing disciples of Guatama Buddha. These intricately carved figures stand tall against the backdrop of ancient walls, their serene expressions and graceful postures embodying the essence of Buddhist spirituality. Tripe's mastery lies not only in his ability to capture these remarkable sculptures but also in his skillful use of salted paper print technique that adds depth and texture to this monochromatic composition. The play between light and shadow further enhances our appreciation for the exquisite details present within each sculpture. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its historical significance. It serves as a testament to Tripe's dedication to documenting cultural heritage through photography during an era when such endeavors were rare. Through this single frame frozen in time, we are transported into a world where art converges with religion, history intertwines with spirituality, and East meets West through Captain Linnaeus Tripe's
