EDITORS COMMENTS
With Lord Dufferin in Burma: A Captivating Evening at Theebaw's Theatre in 1886 This evocative photograph captures a memorable moment in the annals of British colonial history. The image, titled 'With Lord Dufferin in Burma - Lord and Lady Dufferin in Theebaw's Theatre, 1886', depicts the Earl and Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava, Frederick Temple Blackwood, in the midst of an entertaining evening at Theebaw's Theatre in Burma during the late 19th century. Lord Dufferin, who served as the Viceroy and Governor-General of India from 1884 to 1888, and his wife, Lady Dufferin, are seen enjoying the local Burmese entertainment. The Mummers of the Palace, a group of traditional dancers, are performing for the esteemed guests, their vibrant costumes and lively expressions adding to the enchanting atmosphere of the theatre. The photograph, published in 'The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper' in 1886, offers a fascinating glimpse into the colonial era's social scene. The British Raj, which ruled India and its neighbouring territories from 1858 to 1947, was marked by a blend of cultural exchange, political dominance, and the pursuit of leisure and pleasure. Theebaw's Theatre, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Burma, served as a platform for such cultural interactions. The photograph encapsulates the spirit of exploration, diplomacy, and appreciation for the arts that characterized the British colonial era. This image, though its creator remains unknown, stands as a timeless reminder of the intriguing interplay between the British Empire, its subjects, and the diverse cultures it encountered during its expansive reign.
