EDITORS COMMENTS
With Lord Dufferin in Burma: Lady Dufferin Receives the Burmese Ladies," is an enchanting photograph taken in 1886, showcasing an afternoon tea event at the Palace in Mandalay, Burma. The Earl and Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava, Frederick Temple Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, are depicted in the image, warmly welcoming a group of Burmese ladies to their residence during the British colonial rule. The British annexation of Burma began in 1885, and Lord Dufferin, who served as the first British Viceroy and Governor-General of India from 1884 to 1888, played a significant role in the process. This photograph captures a moment of cultural exchange and diplomacy, as the British nobility and Burmese women come together for a traditional English afternoon tea. The Palace in Mandalay, a magnificent building that once stood as the royal residence of the last Burmese king, Thibaw Min, serves as the backdrop for this historic encounter. The elegantly dressed Burmese ladies, adorned in traditional attire, sit on the floor, while Lady Dufferin, wearing a Victorian-era gown and a demure hat, extends her hand in a gesture of friendship and hospitality. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the complex history of colonialism and the interactions between the British and Burmese peoples during this period. The photograph, taken from "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," is an enduring reminder of the intricate tapestry of cultural exchange that unfolded during the 19th century.
