EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing King Thibaw of Burma alongside dignitaries and a British officer. The image, created by Hsaya Chone and Hsaya Saw in the 19th century, is now displayed at the Beikthano Gallery in Yangon (Rangoon), Burma. King Thibaw Min, the last ruler of the Konbaung kingdom of Burma, takes center stage in this composition. Dressed in traditional royal attire, he exudes an air of authority and regality. Seated around him are various dignitaries and officials, including a distinguished British officer donning his military uniform. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era marked by international diplomacy and political discussions. The presence of both Burmese and European figures symbolizes the complex dynamics between colonial powers and indigenous rulers during that time. The composition is meticulously captured on textile using watercolors, adding depth to each character's portrayal. Their expressions hint at serious conversations taking place around the table as they engage in official matters. This historic snapshot not only showcases cultural exchange but also serves as a testament to Myanmar's rich heritage. It stands as a reminder of diplomatic relations between nations while shedding light on the fascinating life of King Thibaw Min during his reign over Burma's Konbaung kingdom.
