Rangoon Railway Station, 1900 - A Glimpse into Burma's Colonial Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1900, offering a rare glimpse into the architectural marvel that was Rangoon Railway Station. Built by the British in 1877, this grand station stood as a symbol of colonialism in Burma until its unfortunate destruction in 1943 during World War II. The image showcases the station's impressive facade, with its intricate detailing and imposing presence along an avenue lined with trees. The monochrome tones add a sense of nostalgia to the scene, transporting us to a time when steam trains were at their peak. As we delve deeper into this photograph from "Typical Photographs of Burma - Burmese Life and Scenes" published by Rowe & Co. Ltd. , we are reminded of the country's rich history and cultural heritage. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of Yangon Central, capturing not only its physical beauty but also hinting at the bustling activity within. With copious amounts of space surrounding it, this image invites viewers to imagine themselves strolling down that very road or waiting for their train on those platforms long ago. It sparks curiosity about what life was like during that era – how people dressed, what conversations filled the air, and how transportation played such a vital role in connecting communities across Southeast Asia. While much has changed since then, this print stands as a testament to Myanmar
