The Expedition to Upper Burma--King Theebaw and his two Queens in the Palace at Mandalay, 1886
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Anglo-Burmese Wars of the late 19th century. Captured by an unknown photographer, it offers a rare glimpse into the world of King Theebaw and his two queens within the opulent confines of their palace in Mandalay. The image showcases not only the grandeur of Burmese architecture but also provides insight into the attire and fashion choices of that era. The king is dressed regally, adorned with traditional Burmese garments befitting his royal status. His wives, Queen Supayalat and another unidentified queen, stand beside him gracefully, wearing intricately designed dresses that reflect both elegance and tradition. This photograph serves as a reminder of British colonialism during this period when conquest was prevalent across various parts of Asia. It captures a time when Britain sought to expand its empire by invading foreign lands like Burma. As we observe this historical snapshot, we are transported back to an era where monarchs ruled sovereign nations with absolute power. It sparks curiosity about life within these palatial walls - tales of love, marriage alliances, political intrigue, and perhaps even resistance against foreign invaders. Through this print's monochromatic lens, we are reminded once again that history is not just about dates or events; it is about people - kings and queens who shaped nations while leaving behind stories waiting to be discovered.
