With Lord Dufferin in Burma - A Burmese Pas Seul,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting image captured in black and white, taken from the pages of "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" in 1886. The photograph depicts a captivating moment in colonial history, as Frederick Temple, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava, Earl of Dufferin and Claneboye, and Marquess of Ava, Blackwood, is seen enjoying a traditional Burmese dance performance. Lord Dufferin, a prominent figure in the British Empire, is dressed in formal attire, donning a frock coat, waistcoat, and cravat, reflecting the fashion trends of the late 19th century. The Marquess, who served as the Viceroy and Governor-General of India from 1884 to 1888, is shown in a relaxed and engaged posture, as he watches the mesmerizing Burmese ballerina execute a graceful Pas Seul, a classical solo dance. The Burmese dancer, dressed in traditional costume, is a vision of elegance and beauty. Her attire consists of a long, flowing skirt, intricately designed with gold and silver accents, and a fitted top adorned with intricate embroidery. Her hair is styled in an elaborate bun, held in place by a decorative hairpin. The dancer's expressive face and fluid movements convey the rich cultural heritage of Burma, providing a glimpse into the exotic world of colonial Burma. This photograph, a testament to the fusion of Eastern and Western influences during the colonial era, is a captivating reminder of the intriguing history and diverse traditions that shaped the British Empire. The image, with its timeless appeal, continues to captivate audiences, offering a unique perspective into the past and the enduring allure of the arts.
