EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts a significant moment in the history of Myanmar (then known as Burma) as Major-General Sir Archibald Bogle and his wife, Maynard Eliza Annie, plant a tree in the city of Sittwe (formerly Akyab) in 1831. Sir Archibald Bogle, a distinguished British military officer and diplomat, served as Commissioner in Myanmar between 1849 and 1857. The image captures the couple standing before the newly planted tree, with the trunk of the tree prominently displayed in the foreground. Maynard Eliza Annie, the niece of Sir Charles D'Oyley, is elegantly dressed in a long, flowing gown, while her husband, Sir Archibald, wears the uniform of a Major-General in the Indian Army. The serene expression on their faces and the lush greenery surrounding them convey a sense of peace and tranquility. The inscription on the plaque at the base of the tree reads, "Planted by Major-General Sir Archibald Bogle and his wife Maynard Eliza Annie, 1831." This tree planting ceremony is a testament to the couple's commitment to the land and people of Myanmar during their time as British administrators. The photograph print, which is believed to date from the 1910s, is a valuable historical record of this important moment in Myanmar's past. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the British colonial officials who played a significant role in shaping the country's history and highlights the enduring connection between the people of Myanmar and the natural beauty of their land.
