1952 Burma Burmese Inya Myanmar Rangoon Study
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty and tranquility of Inya Lake House in Rangoon, Burma, during the 1950s. The image transports us back in time to an era of grace and elegance, as we gaze upon the stately residence nestled among lush greenery and the shimmering waters of Inya Lake. Built in the 1930s, Inya Lake House was once the luxurious residence of renowned Burmese politician U Ba Pe, who served as the Prime Minister of Burma from 1946 to 1947. The house, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and large verandas, exudes an air of refinement and sophistication. In this photograph, we see a man, believed to be U Ba Pe himself, seated at his study table, engrossed in thought, as the sunlight filters in through the windows, casting a warm glow over the room. The tranquil setting of the lake and the peaceful ambiance of the study create a striking contrast, highlighting the balance between the bustling city life and the calming retreat of nature. The photograph, taken in 1952, offers a glimpse into the lives of the Burmese elite during the 1950s, a time of political and social change in Burma, now known as Myanmar. The image stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this beautiful country, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the past.
