EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Burmese Minister, Highlanders, and Couple from Pegu (Bago)," is an intriguing glimpse into the diverse cultural landscape of Burma during the early 19th century. The image is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen between 1835 and 1840. At the center of the composition stands a Burmese minister, dressed in traditional attire, with a sword and shield in hand. His regal bearing and serious expression convey the importance and authority of his position. To his left, a group of highlanders, likely from the Shan or Kachin ethnic groups, are depicted with their distinctive axes and shields. Their fierce appearance and traditional costumes suggest their role as warriors and protectors of their communities. To the right of the minister, a couple from Pegu (Bago) is shown in a more peaceful setting. The woman, wearing a colorful sari and ornate headdress, cradles a child in her arms, while her husband, dressed in a long robe and turban, looks on with a gentle expression. The couple's calm demeanor and domestic scene provide a contrast to the warrior culture depicted on the left. This image offers a valuable record of the diverse peoples and customs of Burma during a time when European exploration and colonialism were beginning to reshape the region. The handcoloring adds depth and richness to the lithograph, making it a striking and captivating representation of Burmese ethnography and anthropology.
