EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, showcases a notable Burmese nobleman, accompanied by his cavalryman, infantry, minister, and wife. The image, produced in Meissen around 1835-1840, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Burma, now known as Myanmar, during that era. The nobleman, elegantly dressed in traditional Burmese attire, is depicted seated on a mat, displaying an air of authority and refinement. His cavalryman, clad in military uniform, stands to his right, holding a lance and shield, signifying his readiness to serve and protect. To the nobleman's left, an infantry soldier is shown, armed with a musket and a shield, symbolizing the strength and discipline of the Burmese military. The minister, dressed in formal attire, is seated on the floor to the nobleman's left, engaged in a serious conversation. His wife, adorned in traditional Burmese clothing, sits demurely behind him, demonstrating the importance of family and the role of women in Burmese society. The intricate details of their clothing, accessories, and the surrounding environment reveal much about the customs, costumes, and history of the Burmese people during this period. This ethnographic and anthropological image not only provides valuable insights into the lives of the Burmese elite but also showcases the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the lithographic process during the 19th century.
