EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a Burmese woman with her child, as she elegantly smokes a cheroot. Taken by an English photographer in the late 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Burma (now Myanmar). The woman, dressed in traditional attire, exudes grace and poise as she delicately holds the cigar-like cheroot between her fingers. The smoke gracefully swirls around her face, adding an air of mystery to the scene. Her child stands beside her, his curious gaze fixed on something beyond our view. The composition is carefully staged within a studio setting, allowing for meticulous attention to detail. Every fold in their garments and every expression on their faces tells a story of tradition and motherhood. Although we cannot be certain about the identity of either the subjects or the photographer behind this image, it is believed that Felice Beato may have been responsible for capturing this intimate moment frozen in time. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to transport us back to a bygone era – where smoking cheroots was not just an act but rather an art form intertwined with culture and history.
