EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from the early 20th century, showcasing Shan servants carrying a brass gong. The image, originally illustrated by Australian artist Mortimer Menpes, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Burma during the British Raj. In traditional attire, these Shan servants proudly carry the magnificent brass gong as part of an elaborate procession. The caption accompanying the illustration describes this particular gong as producing a uniquely resonant note that adds to the grandeur of the event. The photograph is taken from "Durbar" an illustrated book by Dorothy Menpes and published in 1903. It provides valuable insight into colonial life and showcases Menpes' artistic talent in capturing intricate details through his drawings. As we delve into history through this image, it becomes evident how musical instruments like this brass gong played an integral role in government ceremonies and cultural events throughout South Asia's subcontinent. This depiction serves as a reminder of both colonialism's influence on local traditions and artistry's ability to transcend time. Preserved by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its historical significance within the context of British Empire rule over Burma during that era.
