EDITORS COMMENTS
With the Chins in Upper Burma, Major Raikes receiving the Sawbwa of Kale, 1888. This print captures a significant moment in history during the late 19th century. The image showcases Major Frederick Duncan Raikes, a British soldier and commissioner, respectfully greeting the esteemed Sawbwa of Kale. The photograph reflects an alliance between Britain and Burma during the era of colonialism. It symbolizes the complex dynamics between indigenous tribes and imperial powers on the Asian continent. The solemn bowing gesture by both men signifies mutual respect and recognition of authority. In this portrait, we witness a group of soldiers standing alongside Major Raikes as he carries out his duty as an officer representing the British Empire. The local Burmese people observe this historic event with curiosity and intrigue. This illustration was originally published in 'The Graphic, ' an illustrated weekly newspaper that provided readers with visual insights into important events around the world. Although created by an unknown artist, it serves as a valuable historical document that sheds light on Myanmar's past. Through this powerful image, we are transported back to a time when nations were shaped by alliances and occupations. It reminds us to reflect upon our shared history while acknowledging its complexities.
