Amerapoora - Wooden Bridge, September 1-October 21,1855
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print captured by Captain Linnaeus Tripe in the 19th century. The image showcases a remarkable wooden footbridge stretching across a serene lagoon in Amarapura, Mandalay, Myanmar. The bridge stands as an architectural marvel of its time, constructed entirely from teak wood. Its elegant structure harmoniously blends with the surrounding landscape, creating a picturesque scene that exudes tranquility and natural beauty. Captain Linnaeus Tripe's keen eye for detail is evident in this photograph. The monochromatic palette enhances the contrast between light and shadow, emphasizing the intricate patterns of the bridge's design. Through his lens, Tripe captures not only the physicality of this magnificent structure but also its historical significance as a testament to British influence during that era. This stunning piece of heritage art was acquired by The Metropolitan Museum of Art through generous donations from The Buddy Taub Foundation and Alfred Stieglitz Society Gifts in 2012. It serves as a visual reminder of our shared history and cultural exchange between nations. As we gaze upon this timeless image today, we are transported back to an era where craftsmanship met nature seamlessly. Captain Linnaeus Tripe's "Amerapoora: Wooden Bridge" invites us to appreciate both the grandeur of human ingenuity and the serenity found within Mother Nature herself.
