  If
visitors to modern Myanmar find the country picturesque and exotic, imagine
how Europeans felt on arrival a century ago. In 1885 the British annexed
the ancient kingdom and discovered an enchanting land of gilded pagodas
and fairy tale palaces. It
has taken Noel Singer twenty-five years to amass this unique collection
of photographs and early hand-tinted postcards, here reproduced in full
colour. In both narrative and captions there is much fresh and little known
information about this fascinating period. |
