EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling street scene in Moulmein, now known as Mawlamyine, Myanmar during the late 19th century. The image transports us back in time to an era of British colonial rule in Burma, when European influence began to shape the architectural and cultural landscape of this historic town. The photograph showcases a diverse array of people going about their daily lives. Native Burmese, wearing traditional attire, mingle with European settlers, clad in Western-style clothing. Ethnic minorities, representing the rich tapestry of Myanmar's indigenous communities, can also be seen in the crowd. The architectural backdrop of the photograph is a fascinating blend of old and new. Traditional Burmese wooden houses, with their intricate carvings and sloping roofs, stand alongside European-style structures, such as the imposing St. Mary's Cathedral, which dominates the scene. The street is lined with various shops and stalls, selling an assortment of goods, from textiles and spices to food and household items. The hustle and bustle of the marketplace creates a vibrant atmosphere, as people engage in lively negotiations and bartering. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the early history of Moulmein, a town that has played a significant role in Myanmar's ethnographic and cultural heritage. It also highlights the rich tapestry of ethnicities and traditions that have shaped the country's identity throughout the centuries.
