EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the entrance to the Second Tunnel at Gokteik in Burmah (Myanmar). The image, taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, is a stunning example of colonial-era photography showcasing the intricate railway system that connected different parts of Asia.
The tunnel itself appears mysterious and inviting, drawing viewers into its depths with a sense of curiosity and wonder. The play of light and shadow adds to the dramatic effect, creating a hauntingly beautiful scene that transports us back in time.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of the ingenuity and engineering prowess required to build such impressive structures in remote locations. The railway depicted here was not only a means of transport but also a symbol of progress and connectivity for the people living in this region.
Through this image, we catch a glimpse of life in early 20th-century Myanmar, with its blend of British colonial influence and traditional Burmese culture. It serves as a window into a bygone era when travel was slower but no less magical than it is today.
Overall, this print is both visually striking and historically significant, offering viewers a chance to reflect on the past while appreciating the beauty found within everyday moments.
