EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Mandalay, Burma in 1908. The image showcases a vital aspect of daily life - public water wells. Captured by the talented Stereo Travel Co, this stereoscopic card offers a detailed glimpse into the heart of this vibrant city. In an era where access to clean water was essential yet scarce, these public water wells served as lifelines for the Burmese people. The monochrome composition beautifully captures the essence of this century-old scene, transporting us to a time when technology was still in its infancy. The photograph depicts locals gathering around these precious sources of water, their faces reflecting both necessity and gratitude. It is a poignant reminder of how something as basic as access to clean drinking water can shape communities and forge connections among individuals. Preserved by The Print Collector, this rare piece of stereoscopic photography holds historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It not only documents Mandalay's past but also sheds light on the importance placed on communal resources during that period. As we admire this remarkable image from over a century ago, let it serve as a testament to resilience and resourcefulness in times when even simple necessities were hard-fought battles.
