EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of the General Post Office in Yangon, Myanmar (then known as Rangoon, Burma), during the 1910s. The image transports us back in time to an era of colonial rule, when the British Raj held sway over the region. The imposing building, with its ornate facade adorned with intricate architectural details, stands as a testament to the power and influence of the British Empire in Burma. The photograph reveals the post office's main entrance, where the steps lead up to a covered balcony. The balcony, shaded by tall, leafy trees, offers a respite from the tropical heat. Postal workers can be seen in the foreground, attending to their duties, sorting mail and tending to customers. The scene is one of order and efficiency, reflecting the importance of communication during this time. The photograph also reveals the vibrant street life outside the post office. People can be seen going about their daily business, from the hawkers selling their wares to the rickshaw pullers ferrying passengers around the bustling city. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Burma during the early 20th century. Despite the passage of time, the General Post Office in Yangon remains an iconic landmark in the city. Its historic significance and architectural beauty continue to draw visitors from around the world, making it a must-see destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of Myanmar.
