EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and mystery of the Mandalay Watch Tower and Palace Grounds in Myanmar (then known as Burma) during the 1910s. The image showcases the traditional Burmese architecture with intricate details and elegant curves, as the Watch Tower stands proudly in the southern part of the palace complex. The tower, with its multiple tiers and ornate decorations, served as a lookout point for the royal guards, providing a panoramic view of the palace grounds and the surrounding city of Mandalay. The palace complex, a significant historical site, was the last royal palace of the Last Burmese Monarchy before the British colonial rule. The tranquil palace grounds, filled with lush greenery and serene ponds, were once the residence of King Thibaw and Queen Supayalat. The guards, dressed in their traditional uniforms, are seen standing guard, adding an air of tradition and reverence to the scene. The photograph provides a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Myanmar, showcasing the beautiful blend of Asian architectural styles and the traditional Burmese way of life. The intricate details of the Watch Tower and the peaceful surroundings of the palace grounds offer a captivating visual experience, transporting the viewer back in time to an era of grandeur and elegance.
