EDITORS COMMENTS
Myanmar - Burmese Fortunetellers (circa 1909): A captivating scene of Burmese fortunetellers at work on the streets of Myanmar (then known as Burma) in the early 20th century. In this evocative photograph, a fortuneteller intently studies the palm of a customer's hand, his expression focused and serious as he predicts the future. The customer, with a look of anticipation, leans forward, smoking a cheroot as he listens intently to the fortuneteller's words. The belief in the power of fortunetellers and palmistry is deeply ingrained in Burmese culture, and these itinerant readers have been a common sight on the streets for generations. The fortuneteller wears traditional Burmese clothing, and the bustling background of the image hints at the vibrant energy of the city. The use of natural light and the rich textures of the clothing and surroundings add to the authenticity and timeless quality of this photograph.
