EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Warm Welcome from the Weavers of Inle Lake: A Family Portrait from the 1950s 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the 1950s and the shores of Inle Lake in Myanmar. The image portrays a weavers' family, whose warm hospitality and traditional way of life have been preserved in this timeless snapshot. Upstairs, a wide balcony overlooks the lake, offering a glimpse into the family's living quarters. The room beyond is large and dark, providing a stark contrast to the bright sunlight filtering through the balcony doors. The cordiality of the women of the house is palpable, as they extend a welcoming gesture by offering bananas and two lengths of Shan silk as gifts. As we venture downstairs, we are drawn into the heart of the family's home – the weaving room. The room is situated beneath the house, a common architectural feature of Inle Lake's stilted houses. The women, who are renowned for their intricate silk weaving skills, work diligently in this dimly lit space, creating beautiful textiles that have been a cherished part of Shan culture for generations. The photograph, taken in 1952, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a weaving family at Inle Lake during the 1950s. The image is a testament to the rich history and traditions that continue to thrive in this remarkable region. 3.
