EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Pugahm Myo: Carved Doorway in Courtyard of Shwe Zeegong Pagoda, Aug 20-24 or Oct 23,1855" transports us back to the enchanting world of British India during the height of colonialism. Taken by Captain Linnaeus Tripe, a renowned photographer of the nineteenth century, this albumen print captures a moment frozen in time. The image showcases a beautifully carved doorway nestled within the courtyard of the majestic Shwe Zeegong Pagoda in Pugahm Myo (present-day Myanmar). The intricate details and craftsmanship on display are testament to the rich artistic heritage that thrived under imperial rule. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded not only of the architectural splendor but also of Buddhism's profound influence on Burmese culture. The pagoda's towering stupas and chedis stand as symbols of devotion and spiritual enlightenment. Tripe's expert composition draws our attention towards the grand entrance framed by ornate pillars. Through this doorway lies an invitation into another realm - one filled with mystery and reverence for centuries-old traditions. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this photograph serves as a visual portal connecting us to both historical events and artistic excellence. It allows us to reflect upon Britain's imperial legacy while appreciating Burma's unique cultural identity. In essence, Tripe’s work encapsulates not just a single moment frozen in time but
