EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a scene of intense industry and hard work. The image showcases the arduous process of dredging a river bed for rubies in Mogok, Burma. The rugged terrain of the valley is visible as workers laboriously dig through the earth, their determination etched on their faces. With shovels in hand, they tirelessly search for precious gemstones that lie hidden beneath the river's surface. The hillside surrounding them stands as a testament to their tireless efforts, terraced with layers upon layers of excavated soil. Mogok has long been renowned for its rich deposits of rubies, attracting miners from all corners of the country. This photograph offers a glimpse into this bustling mining community where people from diverse backgrounds come together in pursuit of wealth and opportunity. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia to this historic moment frozen in time. It serves as a reminder not only of our human desire for beauty but also our relentless quest to unearth treasures buried deep within nature's embrace. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Underwood & Underwood, we are transported back to an era when rivers were transformed into treasure troves and dreams were carved out with every stroke of a shovel.
