EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 19th century in Upper Burma. Major Raikes, the Deputy-Commissioner of Upper Chindwin, is depicted engaging in a significant meeting with the Chin chiefs at Indin in 1888. The image captures a pivotal moment of alliance and discussion between the British Empire and the indigenous people of Burma. The composition showcases Major Raikes seated amongst a group of distinguished Chin leaders, exuding an air of authority and diplomacy. As one examines their expressions closely, it becomes evident that this gathering holds great importance for both parties involved. This historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into the complex dynamics of colonialism during this era. It serves as a reminder of Britain's occupation and administration over foreign territories while shedding light on the resilience and strength exhibited by native communities like the Chins. The detailed illustration featured here was originally published in The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper from July to December 1888. Its inclusion within our collection allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. As we delve into this photograph, we are reminded that history is not merely confined to textbooks; it lives on through images like these that capture moments frozen in time.
