EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Customs House, a remarkable architectural gem built in 1915. Located on Strand Road in Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar (Burma), this iconic structure stands as a testament to the city's rich colonial history and cultural heritage. The image showcases the vibrant blue exterior of the building, contrasting beautifully against the clear sky. The surrounding area is adorned with lush green trees, adding a touch of natural serenity to the urban scene. As one gazes at this photograph, they are transported back in time to an era when colonialism shaped the landscape of Yangon. The Customs House serves as a reminder of that past, evoking feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about its historical significance. Intriguingly, amidst all this grandeur lies glimpses of everyday life - incidental people going about their daily routines. Their presence adds depth and authenticity to the image, reminding us that while history may be frozen in time through architecture and landmarks like these, life continues to unfold around them. Stuart Black/Robert Harding has masterfully captured not just a building but also an entire narrative within this single frame. This print truly encapsulates both the beauty and cultural essence of Yangon's past and present.
