General Orgoni, The Burman Empire, 1854
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the pages of "Cassell's Illustrated Family Paper," published in London between December 1853 and December 1854. The image showcases a Burmese general, identified as General Orgoni, standing proudly in traditional Burmese attire. The general gazes directly at the camera with an air of authority and confidence, adding to the intrigue and allure of the photograph. The Burmese national costume, as depicted in this image, is a striking contrast to Western fashion of the time. The general wears a long, flowing robe, known as a "longyi," wrapped around his waist and draped over one shoulder. He also dons a short-sleeved shirt, a sash, and a headdress adorned with intricate gold and gemstones. The general's military uniform, complete with a sword and sash, further emphasizes his rank and power. The location of the photograph is not explicitly stated, but the exotic setting and the general's national dress suggest that it was taken in Burma, a country rich in history and culture. The photograph is a testament to the diversity and complexity of the world during the 19th century, a time when European powers were expanding their influence and documenting their travels and discoveries. This photograph is an invaluable addition to any collection of historical images, providing a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the fashion and customs of the Burmese people during a time of great change. The unknown photographer's skillful use of light and shadow, as well as the general's direct gaze, make this image a captivating and timeless work of art.
