With Lord Dufferin in Burma - The Viceroy's Departure from Prome for Mandalay, 1886
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the late 19th century, depicting the ceremonial departure of Frederick Temple, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava, Viceroy of India, from Prome (present-day Pyay) in Burma (Myanmar). The image, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," captures the grandeur and spectacle of the British colonial administration during the height of the British Empire. Lord Dufferin, dressed in full regalia, stands at the stern of a grand teakwood boat, adorned with intricate carvings and richly decorated with flags and pennants. Surrounded by a retinue of British officials, Burmese dignitaries, and soldiers, the Viceroy waves farewell to the crowd gathered on the riverbank. The Ayeyarwady River, a major geographical feature of Burma, stretches out behind the boat, reflecting the golden pagodas and colonial buildings of Prome. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the British colonial presence in Burma, which began with the First Anglo-Burmese War in 1824 and culminated in the annexation of the country in 1886. Lord Dufferin's departure marked the beginning of his tenure as the first British Governor-General of Burma, a position he held until 1889. The image offers a glimpse into the complex interplay of geopolitics, culture, and power during the colonial era, as well as the enduring impact of British rule on Burmese history and identity.
