EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Sule Pagoda Road in Yangon, Myanmar (then known as Rangoon, Burma) during the 1910s. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural diversity of this vibrant Asian city. At the heart of the scene, the iconic Sule Pagoda stands proudly, its golden spire reaching towards the sky. Surrounding the pagoda are a mosaic of low-rise buildings and houses, their red-tiled roofs contrasting against the clear blue sky. The street is filled with a lively mix of people and activity, as merchants display their wares on the sidewalk, horses and carts navigate the narrow streets, and pedestrians move about their daily routines. The architecture of the buildings reflects the city's diverse influences, with European-style structures interspersed among traditional Burmese houses. The streetfront facades are adorned with intricate details, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The photograph also highlights the unique character of Yangon's urban landscape, with its labyrinthine network of narrow streets and the juxtaposition of modern and traditional elements. The image transports us back in time, offering a captivating window into the past and the rich cultural heritage of Myanmar's largest city.
