EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a snapshot of traditional craftsmanship on the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. Taken from "The Book of Ships" published around 1920, it showcases the unique method of propelling these vessels - poling. The crew is divided along each side of the ship, skillfully maneuvering long poles to propel the boat forward through the river's currents. The helmsman sits high above the stern, overseeing this intricate process with precision and expertise. This image offers a glimpse into an era when progress was made through sheer human effort and ingenuity rather than modern technology. The historical significance of this scene cannot be understated. It represents a bygone era when sailboats were essential for transporting goods along rivers like the Irrawaddy. These cargo vessels played a vital role in trade and commerce, carrying valuable resources such as rice and other commodities. As we admire this archival photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the rich maritime heritage that once thrived on these waters. The image serves as a reminder of how traditions shape our past while also highlighting their relevance in understanding our present. With its beautifully preserved details and cultural significance, this print is not just an illustration but also a window into history – capturing both the artistry involved in crafting these boats and their crucial role in Myanmar's transportation system centuries ago.
