EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a street leading towards the magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda in Rangoon, Burma during the late 19th or early 20th century. The pagoda holds immense significance in Buddhist tradition, with beliefs suggesting its construction predates even the passing of Buddha himself in 486 BC. However, archaeologists estimate that it was more likely built between the 6th and 10th century. The image showcases an array of architectural marvels, including traditional buildings adorned with intricate designs and vibrant colors. People can be seen going about their daily lives against this backdrop of religious grandeur. Towering palm trees frame the scene, adding to the exotic charm of this Burmese landscape. As one gazes upon this photograph, they are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen within history. The stupa-like structure of the Shwedagon Pagoda stands tall and proud amidst its surroundings, emanating an aura of spirituality that resonates deeply with Burmese Buddhists. This stunning stereoscopic print is not only a visual delight but also serves as a testament to Myanmar's rich cultural heritage. It allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance encapsulated within this iconic site – a true treasure for those seeking enlightenment and connection with ancient traditions.
