EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Chin Frontier Expedition in Upper Burmah" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Charles Auguste Loye, a talented French illustrator, this print showcases the exploration and military operations that took place during the expedition. The scene depicted is filled with intricate details that transport us to the rugged landscapes of Upper Burmah. We see a stockade nestled amidst the burnt remains of what was once a bustling village of Pouk. The headquarters stand tall as soldiers gather around, strategizing their next move. As our eyes wander through the image, we discover various elements that bring this historical event to life. From the winding Kyaw River and majestic mountains in the distance to small towns like Gungaw and Saga dotting the topography – every detail adds depth to this visual narrative. Engineers are seen constructing roads while police officers patrol nearby posts, ensuring safety against dacoits lurking in these remote regions. The expedition's aim becomes clear: establishing control over these frontier areas and expanding influence into uncharted territories. Loye's skillful hand captures not only the physical aspects but also conveys a sense of adventure and determination felt by those involved in this mission. This engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical document, allowing us to glimpse into an era when nations sought dominance over new lands. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this print continues to remind us of past endeavors while igniting curiosity about untold stories from distant corners
