EDITORS COMMENTS
The Manners and Customs of the Burmans: A Wash and Brush Up in the Market-place, Mandalay" is an intriguing photograph from the 19th century, taken during the British colonial rule in Burma. The image, published in The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper in 1886, captures a scene of daily life in Mandalay Division, Burma, showcasing the Burmese people's hygiene practices. In the center of the photograph, a man sits by a waterwell, dipping a large basin into the water to fill it up. He is surrounded by a crowd of men, women, and children, all gathered to take part in their daily washing ritual. The women, dressed in traditional Burmese attire, are seen squatting by the water's edge, scrubbing themselves with brushes made of twigs. Children play nearby, adding a sense of innocence and joy to the scene. The photograph provides a glimpse into the Burmese culture and their daily routines during the colonial era. The use of a waterwell as a communal bathing area was a common practice in Burma, reflecting the importance of hygiene and cleanliness in their society. The image also showcases the resilience and adaptability of the Burmese people, as they continue their daily rituals despite the presence of British colonial rule. The photograph is a valuable historical document, offering insights into the lives of the Burmese people during a significant period in their history. It is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Burma and the importance of preserving and documenting such moments in history. The photograph's timeless quality and the authenticity of the scene make it a must-have for any collection of historical photographs or those with an interest in colonialism, Burma, or daily life in the 19th century.
