EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Sagaing, nestled on the banks of the majestic Irrawaddy River in Burma. The year is 1900, and every hilltop in this picturesque landscape is adorned with a magnificent pagoda, creating a breathtaking sight that seems almost otherworldly. The unknown creator of this photograph has skillfully captured the essence of Burmese life and scenes, showcasing both the natural beauty of the region and its rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when traditional boats gracefully glided along the river's shimmering waters. Intriguingly distant yet invitingly familiar, Sagaing invites exploration and discovery. The monochrome tones lend an air of mystery to this vista as they highlight every intricate detail - from each pagoda's delicate spire to the rowers' determined faces. Amidst this tranquil setting, we catch a glimpse of a local man navigating his boat through these sacred hills. His presence serves as a metaphor for the resilience and adaptability inherent in Burmese culture throughout history. As we immerse ourselves in this scene frozen in time by Rowe & Co Ltd. , Rangoon's renowned photographers at that era, let us appreciate not only their artistry but also reflect on how transportation along waterways played an integral role in connecting communities across Southeast Asia during those times. This remarkable snapshot encapsulates both Burma's geographical features and its people's way of life
