EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "With Lord Dufferin in Burma, the Viceroys Advance Guard searching the Banks of the Irrawaddy for Dacoits" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts a scene from 1886 when Lord Dufferin led his advance guard on a mission to search for dacoits along the banks of the mighty Irrawaddy River in Burma. The print showcases an intense atmosphere as armed soldiers meticulously comb through the dense vegetation lining the riverbanks. With rifles at hand and determination etched on their faces, they navigate small boats and tugboats, ready to confront any potential threat that may arise. The composition beautifully captures both the military precision and natural grandeur of this expedition. Lord Dufferin's presence adds an air of authority to this historic event. As Viceroy of India at that time, he took personal interest in eradicating dacoit activities in British-controlled territories. This illustration was originally published in The Graphic magazine on March 20th, 1886. This engraving not only serves as a visual documentation of Lord Dufferin's efforts but also offers insight into colonial rule during that era. It is a testament to both historical significance and artistic craftsmanship, providing viewers with a glimpse into an important chapter of British-Burmese relations.
