EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Jubilee Sports in Upper Burma" transports us back to the 19th century when sports and military prowess were celebrated with great enthusiasm. The image captures a moment of intense challenge as mounted infantry soldiers engage in a finishing fight during the jubilee sports event. The scene is filled with energy and determination. The fighters, wearing their distinctive hats, display impressive skills as they keep the ground while exchanging blows. A judge closely observes their every move, ready to declare a retired prize for the most skilled combatant. Surrounding this thrilling competition are various spectators who have gathered to witness these youthful pugilists showcase their strength and agility. Among them stands a deputy commissioner from Ningyan, Pyinman - an important figure overseeing the proceedings. This historical print not only offers us a glimpse into upper Burma's vibrant sporting culture but also serves as a reminder of the significance placed on physical prowess during that era. It highlights how sport was used as both entertainment and an opportunity for individuals to prove themselves in front of their community. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving allows us to appreciate the artistic talent behind its creation while providing valuable insights into Burmese history and society at that time.
