EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of The Nan-U Human-Se, Shwe-Kyaung in the palace of Mandalay, Burma during the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Felice Beato, this albumen print showcases a remarkable wooden architectural masterpiece. Also known as the monastery of gold and glass mosaic, this stunning structure was built in 1874 by King Mindon. Its intricate design and exquisite craftsmanship are evident in every detail captured by Beato's lens. The photo reveals the delicate patterns carved into the woodwork and highlights the opulent beauty that once graced this now-demolished palace. The image transports us back to a time when Myanmar was still known as Burma, offering a glimpse into its rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of the country's glorious past and its architectural wonders that have stood against time. Beato's expert composition emphasizes both scale and symmetry, showcasing his mastery behind capturing such monumental structures on film. This photograph not only preserves an important piece of history but also celebrates Burmese artistry through its portrayal of this magnificent edifice. As we admire this rare archival print from a private collection, we are reminded of how photography can transport us to different eras and cultures while preserving their essence for generations to come.
