EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic North Moat and Wall of Mandalay, taken in 1900 by an unknown creator. The photograph captures a glimpse of the grandeur and historical significance of this iconic palace, which was built between 1857 and 1859 as part of King Mindon's vision for a new royal capital city. The image reveals the traditional Burmese palace design, enclosed within a fortified wall surrounded by a serene moat. The architectural beauty is enhanced by the monochrome setting, allowing viewers to appreciate every intricate detail of the buildings' exteriors. A fence separates the palace grounds from nature's embrace, creating a harmonious blend between man-made structures and natural elements. Intriguingly, scattered throughout the scene are background people who add depth to this snapshot in time. They provide scale to emphasize the vastness of both the palace complex and its surroundings. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, we are transported back to an era when Myanmar was known as Burma. This rare gem is sourced from "Typical Photographs of Burma - Burmese Life and Scenes" published by Rowe & Co. Ltd. , Rangoon in 1900. It serves as not only an exquisite example of early 20th-century photography but also as a testament to Myanmar's rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate audiences worldwide today.
