EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Soolay Pagoda Road in Rangoon, Burma, in the year 1900. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but its historical significance is undeniable. Legend has it that the Soolay Pagoda was constructed even before the renowned Shwedagon Pagoda during the time of Buddha, making it a staggering 2,600 years old. The photograph showcases an avenue lined with majestic palm trees and colonial-era buildings, reflecting British influence on Burmese architecture. A horse-drawn carriage gracefully crosses the road as men go about their daily activities. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility amidst bustling urban life. Soolay Pagoda Road stands as a testament to Burma's rich cultural heritage and religious devotion. The towering stupa of Sule Pagoda can be seen in the distance, symbolizing spirituality and serving as a prominent landmark for both locals and visitors alike. This vintage print captures not only architectural beauty but also offers glimpses into everyday life in early 20th-century Rangoon. It serves as a window into a bygone era when transportation relied on horses rather than modern vehicles. Preserved within these monochrome frames are memories of an enchanting past—a reminder of how much our world has evolved over time while still cherishing its roots. This photograph from "Typical Photographs of Burma - Burmese Life and Scenes" allows us to appreciate Myanmar's natural splendor alongside its vibrant cultural tapestry.
