EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Amerapoora: Part of Balcony on the South Side of Maha-oung-meeay-liy-mhan Kyoung, 1855" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Burma. Captured by Captain Linnaeus Tripe, a British photographer and explorer, this image showcases the architectural beauty and religious significance of a Buddhist temple in Amarapura. The balcony featured in the photograph stands as an exquisite example of Burmese craftsmanship. Its intricate design and delicate details are brought to life through the monochromatic palette, highlighting every curve and contour. The image transports us to a time when British influence was expanding across the globe through their vast empire. Tripe's lens not only captures the physical structure but also evokes a sense of spirituality that permeates throughout Burmese culture. Buddhism is deeply ingrained in Myanmar's heritage, and this photo serves as a testament to its enduring presence. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this albumen silver print holds historical value as it documents an era marked by exploration and cultural exchange between Britain and Myanmar. It invites viewers to appreciate both the architectural marvels created by human hands and the spiritual devotion that shaped them. Through Tripe's skilled composition, we are transported into another time where East meets West, tradition intertwines with modernity, all within the walls of this sacred temple in Amerapoora.
