EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Mandalay, the last royal capital of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), in circa 1908. The image showcases the city's historic moat and city walls, which once protected the Burmese empire from external threats. The moat, filled with clear, still water, reflects the elegant architecture of the city walls, their red-brick facades softened by the surrounding lush greenery of reed beds. Mandalay, located in the central part of Myanmar, was founded in 1857 by King Mindon Min. The city was designed as a royal capital, and its defensive walls and moats were built to ensure the safety and security of its inhabitants. The walls, which encircled the city for approximately 13 kilometers, were made of laterite, a durable and fire-resistant material. The moat, which surrounded the city walls, was used for various purposes, including irrigation, water supply, and defense. The water was also used for transportation, as it allowed boats to enter the city through several gates. The reed beds along the moat provided an essential habitat for various bird species and served as a source of fuel and building materials for the local population. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when Mandalay was a thriving center of Burmese culture and history. The tranquil scene, with its reflection of the city walls on the water, is a testament to the enduring beauty and resilience of Myanmar's rich heritage.
