With Lord Dufferin in Burma - The Viceroy at Mandalay Returning Buddhist Images
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the late 19th century, depicting a significant moment in the history of British colonial rule in Burma. The image, created by an unknown photographer, was first published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" in 1886. The photograph captures Lord Dufferin, the 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava, the Viceroy and Governor-General of India, as he returns Buddhist images to the Archbishop and Priests in Mandalay, Burma. The images were taken from the Shwedagon Pagoda during the British annexation of Burma in 1885. The Buddhist relics were considered sacred to the Burmese people, and their removal was a contentious issue that fueled anti-British sentiment. Lord Dufferin, dressed in formal colonial attire, stands in the center of the image, surrounded by Burmese figures in traditional clothing. He is seen handing over the Buddhist images to the Archbishop and Priests, signifying the return of the relics to the religious leaders. The image is a poignant reminder of the complex relationship between the British Empire and the colonized peoples, as well as the role of religion in colonial politics. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the colonial era and the cultural exchange that took place between the British and the Burmese people. The image is also a testament to the artistic skills of the unknown photographer, who captured the moment with great detail and sensitivity. Overall, "With Lord Dufferin in Burma: The Viceroy at Mandalay Returning Buddhist Images" is a powerful and evocative image that continues to fascinate historians, artists, and scholars alike.
