EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Gokteik Gorge and Railway Bridge, taken in 1900. The bridge, a remarkable feat of engineering constructed by the Pennsylvania and Maryland Bridge Construction Company in 1899, opened its doors to the world just a year later. This image is part of the renowned collection "Typical Photographs of Burma - Burmese Life and Scenes" published by Rowe & Co. Ltd. Rangoon in 1900. The photograph provides an elevated view from above, allowing us to appreciate the grandeur of both nature and human ingenuity. The Gokteik Gorge stretches out beneath us, revealing a breathtaking landscape that seems untouched by time or civilization. The railway bridge itself stands as a testament to British colonialism during this era. Located in Kyaukme, Shan State within Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), this picturesque vista represents not only transportation but also serves as a metaphor for progress and connectivity between nations. It symbolizes Britain's influence over its colonies throughout Southeast Asia. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to an era when travel was arduous yet filled with wonderment. This print captures the essence of early 20th-century life in Burma while reminding us of the power that lies within human hands to conquer even the most challenging landscapes.
