Our Burmese Brothers Playing Football in Mandalay,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an enchanting image from the past, captured in black and white during the 19th century in the heart of Burma. The photograph, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" in Volume 33, between January and June of 1886, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Burmese people during the British colonial era. The scene unfolds in the bustling city of Mandalay, the last royal capital of Myanmar, where a lively football match is taking place. Burmese men and boys, dressed in traditional clothing, engage in the sport with great enthusiasm. Some are focused on the game, while others watch with interest, their eyes following the ball's movement. A few women and children, clad in colorful attire, sit on the sidelines, observing the action. Two adorable piglets and a hog join the scene, adding an unexpected element of charm to the image. One of the men is seen smoking a pipe, while another holds a dog on a leash. The diverse cast of characters in this engraving reflects the rich cultural tapestry of Mandalay Division, Burma. This photograph offers a unique window into the past, providing a glimpse into the daily lives of the Burmese people during the British colonial era. It serves as a reminder of the shared human experiences that transcend time and place, and the enduring appeal of sports and community.
