10 Vintage Photos That Take You Back to 1897 in Burma

Posted 2 January 2014 15:38 GMT

Through its Flickr account, the British Library has opened to the public its various collections featuring historic photos, maps, and other illustrations of many countries around the world. We found two books published in 1897 which contained vintage travel photos of Burma (Myanmar). They provide an interesting glimpse of life in Burmese society during the late 19th century.
Below are five photos we selected from the book ‘Wanderings in Burma’ authored by George W Bird:

Alguada Lighthouse

Sagaing Hills

A steamer at Irrawaddy River

Cargo steamers

A pagoda in Rangoon

Alice Hart published the book ‘Picturesque Burma’ also in 1897. Below are some photos from this collection:

Taming a wild elephant

Net fishing

Bamboo houses

Great release today from the British Library of a series of pictures of Burma from 1897 released to their Flickr account. Burma has such a strong hold on the imagination for me and these pictures told me a little about why that might be.
Thanks to Global Voices website for bringing them to my attention:
