EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Amerapoora, Palace of the White Elephant, 1 September-21 October 1855" takes us back to a bygone era in Myanmar. Captured by the talented Captain Linnaeus Tripe, this 19th-century albumen silver print showcases the remarkable architecture and religious significance of this historic site. The image transports us to Amarapura Mandalay, where the majestic palace stands proudly against a clear sky. The intricate details of the building's exterior are beautifully highlighted in black and white tones, emphasizing its grandeur. The roof's elegant design adds an element of grace to this sacred place. As we delve into the photograph's narrative, we discover that it is not just about capturing architectural beauty but also about showcasing cultural heritage. Buddhism plays a significant role in Burmese society, and here we witness its influence through Buddhist symbolism present throughout the palace grounds. Captain Linnaeus Tripe skillfully captures both the physical structure and spiritual essence of this location. His salted paper print from waxed paper negative technique brings out every fine detail with precision. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their collection on British Empire photography during that era, this print serves as a timeless reminder of Myanmar's rich history and religious traditions. It invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its cultural significance within a broader historical context.
