EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Ex-Judge Moung Oon of Rangoon, Burma (now Myanmar), proudly dons traditional Burmese attire and the prestigious Companion of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire (C.I.E.) medal. The image, taken in 1885, captures a moment in history when the British Raj held sway over Burma. Moung Oon's traditional Burmese garb, with its intricate patterns and rich colors, stands in stark contrast to the Western-style C.I.E. medal, a symbol of British recognition and honor. The medal, established by Queen Victoria in 1878, was awarded to individuals in recognition of their distinguished and outstanding service in the Indian Empire. The ex-judge's piercing gaze and confident demeanor convey a sense of authority and wisdom. His presence in the photograph underscores the complex interplay of cultural influences that characterized the colonial era in Burma. The photograph, taken in Rangoon (now Yangon), the commercial capital of Burma, offers a glimpse into the lives of the Burmese elite during the British Raj. It is a poignant reminder of a time when the East and West intersected, leaving an indelible mark on the history and culture of Burma. The photograph, part of the ILN - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the rich and complex history of Burma during the colonial era. It is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Burmese people in the face of colonial rule and a reminder of the enduring influence of the British Raj on Myanmar's history and culture.
