EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of traditional Burmese transportation during the 1910s, featuring a Burmese Bullock Carriage, also known as a festival cart. The image showcases a family of four, dressed in traditional Burmese attire, seated comfortably in the carriage, which is pulled by two powerful oxen. The oxen, adorned with ornate headgear, appear strong and determined as they plod along the dusty road. The carriage itself is a marvel of engineering, with its spoked wheels, intricately carved wooden body, and ornate decorations. The family's belongings are securely stowed away, while a parasol or umbrella is held aloft to provide shade from the scorching sun. The use of oxen for transportation was a common practice in Burma (now Myanmar) during this era, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the people and their reliance on these animals for mobility. The Bullock Carriage was not only used for everyday transportation but was also an essential part of various festivals and celebrations. The carriage's grandeur and elegance made it a popular choice for weddings and other special occasions. This photograph, therefore, not only showcases a mode of transportation but also offers a window into the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Burma during the early 20th century.
