The Military Police of Burmah - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by William Barnes Wollen in 1890, offers a fascinating glimpse into the military history of Burmah (now known as Myanmar). The image showcases a scene where prisoners are being guarded by the formidable Military Police of Burmah. In this detailed illustration, we see a group of soldiers forming the military police, marching alongside their trusty baggage animals - elephants. These majestic creatures were not only used for transportation but also played an essential role in maintaining order and security during military operations. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and discipline exhibited by these soldiers as they escort their captives through waterlogged terrain. Their determined expressions convey their commitment to upholding law and order in this challenging environment. Wollen's artwork provides valuable insight into an era when Burma was under British colonial rule. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between colonizers and locals during that time period. As we admire this historical print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let us reflect on how art can transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and significance of past events.
