EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Myanmar's former capital city, Rangoon (now Yangon). The image, captured on an albumen print or collodion process, showcases the grandeur of the Shwedagon Pagoda, a sacred Buddhist temple complex that has stood the test of time for over 2,500 years. Located in the heart of Rangoon, the Shwedagon Pagoda is a landmark of both historical and architectural significance. The pagoda's golden stupa, adorned with diamonds, rubies, and other precious gems, shines brilliantly against the backdrop of the urban landscape. The Victorian-era buildings and bustling streets of Rangoon add to the intriguing contrast between the traditional and the modern, reflecting the diverse cultural influences that have shaped Myanmar's history. This photograph, taken during the British colonial era, provides a unique window into the past. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of the people who lived and worked in this vibrant and historic city. The Shwedagon Pagoda remains an important symbol of Myanmar's rich cultural heritage, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to explore the country's fascinating history and traditions.
