EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Burmese lady in all her grace and beauty. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this albumen print measures 27x21 cm and is now part of a private collection. The image captures the essence of Myanmar's rich cultural heritage, as the young woman stands tall in her traditional costume. Dressed in a sarong with intricate patterns, she exudes elegance from head to toe. Her headdress adorned with jewels adds a touch of regality to her ensemble, while her necklace and earrings shimmer delicately against her skin. With a parasol or sunshade held gracefully above her head, she shields herself from the scorching sun. The backdrop of this photograph suggests that it was taken inside a photographic studio, adding an interesting contrast between tradition and modernity. Despite being captured during colonial times, this portrait celebrates the timeless beauty found within Burmese culture. Every detail has been meticulously preserved in this stunning monochromatic composition: from the folds of silk fabric to the delicate flip flops on her feet. This image serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of life in Burma during that era. Reproduced in "Burma: Photographic Journey" on page 86, this print invites us into a world long gone but forever immortalized through its visual storytelling.
