EDITORS COMMENTS
Mandalay: the moat, 1905" is an evocative photograph that transports us back in time to the colonial era of Burma, specifically to the last royal capital, Mandalay. The image, captured in 1905, showcases the grandeur and tranquility of the Mandalay moat, which once encircled the ancient city. The moat, a defining feature of Mandalay's architectural landscape, served as both a defensive structure and a source of water for the inhabitants. The photograph, taken from a vantage point outside the city walls, offers a panoramic view of the moat, its serene waters reflecting the clear blue sky above. The lush greenery that lines the banks of the moat adds to its picturesque beauty. In the distance, the silhouette of Mandalay's royal palace can be seen, a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Burmese monarchy during the British colonial rule. The photograph also reveals the bustling activity along the moat's edge. People can be seen going about their daily routines, from washing clothes and bathing to fishing and transporting goods. The presence of European soldiers and officials, evident in their distinctive uniforms, underscores the colonial influence on Burmese life during this period. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when Mandalay was the center of Burmese political power and culture. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the people who lived along the moat, their daily routines, and their interactions with the colonial authorities. The photograph's timeless beauty and historical significance make it an invaluable addition to any collection of Burmese or colonial history.
