EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of the Shwedagon Pagoda in Rangoon, Burma, taken by Stereo Travel Co in 1908. The image showcases the mesmerizing sight of people walking along the platform leading to the southern ascent of this sacred Buddhist site. According to Buddhist tradition, it is believed that the Shwedagon Pagoda was constructed even before Buddha's passing in 486 BC. However, archaeologists suggest that its origins are more likely from between the 6th and 10th century. Regardless of its exact age, there is no denying its immense significance as it remains a revered place for Burmese Buddhists. The photograph highlights not only the architectural grandeur but also reveals intricate sculptures and artistic details adorning this magnificent pagoda. Its towering spire stands tall against a monochrome backdrop, adding an air of mystique to this timeless scene. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to early 20th-century Burma, now known as Myanmar. The black and white tones evoke a sense of nostalgia while emphasizing every intricate detail captured by Stereo Travel Co's stereoscopic photography technique. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both human creativity and religious devotion. It allows us to appreciate not only the rich cultural heritage but also invites us into a moment frozen in time – forever preserving one's journey along this sacred platform towards enlightenment at Shwedagon Pagoda.
