EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Travelling in Burmah, Native Vehicles" takes us back to the year 1880, offering a glimpse into the transportation methods of that era. The engraving, created by John Charles Dollman and now part of a private collection, showcases an array of unique vehicles used for travel in Burma. The image captures the diversity and ingenuity of native vehicles employed during this time. From hack carts to country carts, each conveyance tells its own story. The Thayetmayo Royal Mail Express Cart stands out with its regal appearance and signifies the importance placed on efficient mail delivery even in remote regions. Cattle-drawn carts are also prominently featured, emphasizing their vital role as a means of transport across rugged terrains. These humble yet sturdy vehicles were essential for locals navigating through Burma's challenging landscapes. Amongst these traditional modes of transportation, we spot a gentleman's spring cart - perhaps an indication of Western influence making its way into Burmese society at that time. As we observe this snapshot from history, it is evident that travel was not only about reaching one's destination but also about embracing cultural diversity and experiencing different ways of life. This image serves as a reminder that journeys are not solely measured by miles traveled but rather by the connections made along the way. Through this enchanting engraving captured over a century ago, we can't help but be transported ourselves - imagining what it must have been like to embark on such adventures in distant lands like Burma
