Ruined pagoda & Mingoon bell. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View of the pagoda with the bell in the foreground. A note by A.G. McCrae on the verso reads: 'Mingun is on right bank of the Irrawaddy about 5 miles N. of Mandalay & could be reached by launch crossing the wide river in an hour. I made frequent visits in my two years (1939-41) at Mandalay. The Bell & Pagoda were familiar sights and there was an old people's home run by monks who made me a patron. We understood only one bell in the world larger, ie. in Russia. The I.F.Co. took the bell to Mingun from Lower Burma (date unknown to me) and hung it at Mingun.
