EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving from 1887 takes us back in time to the bustling Merchant Street in Mandalay, Burma. The scene is alive with activity as people go about their daily lives against a backdrop of traditional architecture. A rider on horseback gracefully navigates through the crowded street, adding an element of movement and energy to the composition. The presence of a horse-drawn wagon suggests that transportation was still largely reliant on animal power during this era. An ox cart can also be seen, highlighting the diversity of vehicles used for transporting goods and people at that time. The image provides a glimpse into the vibrant street life of Mandalay over a century ago. Merchants engage with customers while others hurry along, creating a sense of urgency and purpose within this snapshot of history. Through this wood engraving, we are transported to an era where commerce thrived amidst charming architectural facades. It serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements, some aspects of daily life remain timeless – such as trade and human interaction. This print by The Granger Collection captures not only the physical landscape but also offers insight into Burmese culture during this period. It invites us to reflect upon how societies evolve while retaining elements that connect us across generations.
