EDITORS COMMENTS
Queens Watch Tower, the Palace, Mandalay, 1900. This print takes us back to a bygone era in Burma's history. The creator of this mesmerizing image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing architectural beauty is undeniable. The photograph showcases the majestic Queens Watch Tower standing tall amidst the enchanting grounds of Mandalay Palace. Built in the early 19th century during King Mindon's reign, this iconic tower served as a gateway to the palace complex. Its intricate design and grandeur reflect the rich cultural heritage of Myanmar. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, our eyes are drawn towards an avenue leading up to the tower's entrance. People stroll along this lane, adding life and movement to an otherwise still scene. Their presence reminds us that despite being frozen in time through photography, these ancient structures were once bustling with activity. This print not only captures a moment from Burmese history but also serves as a window into Southeast Asian architecture and arts of that period. It offers us a glimpse into traditional Burmese culture and invites us to explore its literature and customs further. Thanks to Rowe & Co Ltd. , who published 'Typical Photographs of Burma - Burmese Life and Scenes' in 1900, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece of visual storytelling from over a century ago.
