EDITORS COMMENTS
Myanmar: A Slightly Stern-Looking Burmese Girl with a Large Open Paper Parasol (circa 1910) This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the image of a Burmese girl, seated gracefully with a slightly stern expression on her face. She is adorned with traditional Burmese jewelry, including a delicate necklace, adding to her regal appearance. The focus of the photograph, however, is the large open paper parasol she holds in her hands. The parasol, a common accessory in Myanmar's tropical climate, is an essential item for protection against the sun. Its intricate design, with delicate folds and intricate patterns, adds to the overall beauty of the image. The parasol's open position suggests a sense of vulnerability, as if the girl is seeking refuge from the elements or the gaze of the outside world. The photograph was likely taken in a studio setting, as evidenced by the plain background and the formal pose of the subject. The use of a large-format camera and a tripod would have been necessary to capture such a clear and detailed image. The photograph's age, estimated to be around 1910, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the culture and traditions of Myanmar during that time. Despite the girl's stern expression, there is a sense of quiet strength and resilience in her posture. Her traditional attire and the use of the parasol serve as reminders of the rich cultural heritage of Myanmar, which continues to thrive to this day.
