EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Watching a Boat-Race, 1903" we are transported back in time to witness the excitement and energy of a boat race on a river. The artist, Mortimer L Menpes, skillfully captures the essence of this momentous event with his attention to detail and vibrant colors. The scene unfolds outdoors, where a diverse group of spectators has gathered along the riverbank. Among them are women dressed in colorful traditional attire, their parasols adding splashes of pink to the landscape. Men can be seen mingling with the crowd, eagerly anticipating the start of the race. This snapshot from early 20th century Myanmar (formerly Burma) provides us with a glimpse into both its geography and culture. The local people's enthusiasm for sports is evident as they come together to support their favorite teams competing on these historic waters. As we delve deeper into this image, we discover that it is part of an extraordinary book called "World Pictures" by Mortimer Menpes. With accompanying text written by Dorothy Menpes, it offers readers an immersive experience through art and literature. Through this photograph's vivid portrayal of bustling activity and palpable anticipation, we are reminded that even across different times and places, human connection through shared experiences remains timeless.
