EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional brick making in Rangoon, Myanmar (then known as Burma), during the 1950s. The scene unfolds under the warm glow of the sun, with teams of three skilled artisans working in unison at low tables, their hands expertly shaping and pressing the soft clay into intricately designed metal moulds. The thatched sun shelter overhead provides a modest respite from the intense Burmese heat, while children, some appearing younger than 12 years old, look on with curious eyes. The process is a testament to the enduring craftsmanship and communal spirit that once defined the daily life of this vibrant city. Wheelbarrows laden with newly formed bricks make their way to the drying yards, where they will bask in the sun's rays before being used to construct homes and buildings. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Burma during the 1950s, a time when the simple act of brick making was a labor of love and a vital part of the community.
