EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Expedition to Burmah" takes us back in time to the year 1886. The engraving, created by Melton Prior after a painting by Prior himself, showcases an important historical event that unfolded during that era. In this image, we witness a scene of great significance as military ships pass through the waters of Burmah. The expedition is led by General Prendergast, who stands tall on one of the boats with his staff members. They are accompanied by a fleet of maritime vessels including tugboats and transport ships. As our eyes wander across the print, we observe the topography of this frontier town in Burmah. A magnificent palace gate catches our attention while nearby locals watch curiously from their boats. The bustling activity along the riverbanks indicates that this expedition has stirred up excitement among both locals and foreigners alike. The presence of King Theebaw adds another layer of intrigue to this historic moment captured on paper. His figure can be seen standing proudly amidst his people as he observes the passing military convoy. With its intricate details and impeccable craftsmanship, this print not only provides us with a glimpse into an important military campaign but also serves as a testament to Melton Prior's artistic prowess. It allows us to immerse ourselves in history and appreciate the beauty found within these significant moments from long ago.
