EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in the Yaw Country, Western Burmah" takes us on a visual journey back to 1889. The engraving, created by William Barnes Wollen and now part of a private collection, was originally featured in The Illustrated London News. The image showcases a scene from the Yaw Country in Western Burmah (now known as Myanmar). In this snapshot of history, we witness a wounded political officer being carried on a stretcher by local inhabitants. Surrounding him are various figures representing different religious orders - priests, clergymen, and even an archbishop. The composition is rich with details that provide insight into the cultural fabric of this region during that time period. Carriages can be seen in the background while cattle graze nearby. Medical personnel attend to the injured officer while religious leaders offer their prayers and support. The black and white aesthetic adds depth to the image, emphasizing both its historical significance and artistic quality. Through this engraving, we catch a glimpse into not only the physical landscape but also the diverse religious practices that shaped life in Burma. This print serves as a window into another era – one filled with tradition, resilience, and faith. It invites us to reflect on how religion played an integral role within society at that time and encourages us to appreciate the beauty found within cultural diversity.
