The Expedition to Upper Burma - A Historic Moment Captured in Engraving
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Expedition to Upper Burma" takes us back to a significant event in history. Created by the talented artist Durand, Godefroy (1832-1896), this print showcases a pivotal moment during the 19th century. In this scene, we witness a squadron of ships from the Royal Navy embarking on an expedition. The military and maritime forces are gathered together, reading news and proclamations as they prepare for action. Led by Captain Eyre, they set sail towards Rangoon with a clear mission - King Theebaw's submission. As our eyes wander through the artwork, we notice natives observing the naval fleet with curiosity. In honor of their arrival, a salute of thirty-one guns is fired while political officers coordinate operations on land. This image truly captures both the power and diplomacy involved in such expeditions. Durand's attention to detail brings every element of this historical moment to life - from the intricate uniforms worn by troops to the majestic ships sailing across calm waters. Through his artistry, he transports us back in time and allows us to witness firsthand this important chapter in Burmese history. This engraving serves as not only a remarkable work of art but also as an invaluable record of past events. It reminds us of the bravery and determination displayed by those who embarked on these expeditions during that era.
