Thapinyu Pagoda at Pagan - English Mission to Mandalay, 1875
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the 1870s, showcasing the Thapinyu Pagoda in Pagan, Myanmar (then known as Burma). The image is taken from "Illustrated Travels" by H.W. Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The photograph presents a stunning exterior view of the Thapinyu Pagoda, also known as Thatbyinnyu Temple, which is a significant Buddhist temple in the ancient city of Pagan. The temple, with its towering spire and ornate architectural details, stands proudly against a clear blue sky, surrounded by lush greenery and the vast, open landscape of Myanmar. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of the region during the late 19th century. The presence of the English mission in Mandalay, as indicated by the title, suggests the increasing influence of Western powers in Myanmar at the time. The photograph is a testament to the beauty and allure of the ancient temples of Myanmar, which continue to draw visitors from around the world. The image is a valuable historical document, capturing the essence of a bygone era and offering a window into the past. The creator of the photograph is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken by either Henry Walter Bates or Henry Crofton Woodward, both of whom were prominent photographers and travel writers of the time. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, travel literature, or religious artifacts. The photograph's timeless quality and the intrigue of its historical context make it a fascinating and captivating piece of art and history. The Thapinyu Pagoda at Pagan: English Mission to Mandalay, 1875, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Myanmar, Buddhism, or travel photography.
