Resumo
View from a hillside looking towards the river, with temple pagodas in the foreground. Precise location unidentified. Probably photographed by Colin Murray for Bourne & Shepherd. The print was originally part of an album compiled by the French diplomat Comte Julien de Rochechouart, who visited Burma on an official mission in 1873 in an attempt to ratify the treaty signed in Paris in January of that year. The photographs in the album were exhibited in the Galerie Hypnos, Paris, in 1999. This print was number 26 in the exhibition (see catalogue, 'Birmanie de Rangoon a Mandalay' (Galerie Hypnos, Paris, 1999) for a description of the collection and notes on the de Rochechouart mission). [Albumen print, 280x228mm]. Photographer: Bourne and Shepherd.
