EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Snake Charmers with Hamadryads (Kuy Cobras), 1900" takes us back to the enchanting world of Burma in the early 20th century. The creator of this mesmerizing image remains unknown, but their ability to capture a moment filled with tradition and danger is undeniable. In this snapshot, we see two bare-chested men engaged in a daring interaction with Kuy Cobras. These skilled animal trainers, known as snake charmers, have mastered the art of taming these venomous reptiles. With intense focus and years of experience, they navigate the fine line between risk and reward. The setting is an exterior location along a path in Burma's picturesque countryside. Surrounded by lush greenery and under the watchful gaze of ancient hamadryad trees, these men embody both courage and respect for nature. Their semi-dressed attire reflects the traditional customs prevalent in Myanmar during that era. A bell hangs from one man's waist - perhaps serving as both decoration and protection against unexpected strikes from their slithering companions. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an occupation deeply rooted in Burmese culture. It also serves as a reminder of how literature can transport us to distant lands through visual storytelling. Preserved by Rowe & Co Ltd. , Rangoon in their publication "Typical Photographs of Burma - Burmese Life and Scenes" this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also
