EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic beauty of Burma, specifically the Province of the City of Mien (known as Amien) with its iconic gold and silver towers. The city was once a subject of the legendary Kublai Khan, adding to its historical significance.
The image transports us back in time to the 13th century when explorer Ser Marco Polo roamed these lands, documenting his adventures in The Book of Ser Marco Polo. This particular illustration from that book, edited by Yule and published in 1903, gives us a glimpse into the rich culture and architecture of ancient Myanmar.
From ornate buildings to towering temples and bustling cityscapes, every detail in this engraving is meticulously captured. The paganism and religious symbolism prevalent throughout the scene add an air of mystique and wonder.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of a bygone era filled with exploration, discovery, and reverence for nature's beauty. The boats on the river, elephants roaming amidst rooftops, and mountains looming in the background all contribute to creating a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur.
This print is not just a visual feast for the eyes; it is a window into history that invites us to immerse ourselves in the wonders of ancient Burma.
