EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "The Burmah Deposition of King Theebaw (1858-1916): General Prendergast Gives Him Ten Minutes Grace" captures a significant moment in history. In this engraving from The Illustrated London News, dated 30th January 1886, we witness the fall of King Theebaw, the last monarch of Burma. Depicted in the image is General Prendergast, who played a pivotal role in dethroning King Theebaw. With great power and authority, he grants the deposed king ten minutes to gather his thoughts before being exiled to India. This act symbolizes not only the end of an era but also highlights British dominance over Burma during that period. The engraving showcases soldiers surrounding both General Prendergast and King Theebaw, emphasizing their contrasting positions - one triumphant and commanding while the other defeated and powerless. It serves as a visual reminder of how colonial powers often exerted control over nations they sought to conquer. This historical event marked a turning point for Burma as it transitioned into British rule after centuries of independence. It signifies the loss of sovereignty and cultural identity for its people under foreign occupation. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment that forever altered Burmese history. It serves as a testament to the complex dynamics between colonizers and colonized peoples during an era defined by imperialism.
