EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View on the River, 1886" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this pen and ink with watercolor on paper artwork is housed at the National Army Museum in London. The image is part of a larger album compiled by Lord Henry Rawlinson between 1886 and 1888, during the Third Anglo-Burmese War (also known as the 3rd Burma War). The war was fought between British India and Myanmar (formerly Burma) from 1885 to 1887. This particular piece provides us with a colonial perspective of the Burmese landscape. As we explore this scene, our eyes are drawn to a riverboat navigating through the majestic River Irrawaddy. The artist's keen eye for detail allows us to observe native villages along the riverbank amidst lush jungle vegetation. The annotations accompanying this sketch offer valuable insights into geography, anthropology, and imperial history. This print serves as both an anthropological study and a historical record of British imperialism during that era. It invites viewers to reflect upon not only artistic beauty but also cultural exchange and power dynamics inherent within colonialism. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art for generations to come, allowing us to appreciate its significance in understanding our shared past.
