Civil Mess House, Palace, Mandalay. Formerly the King's private room; scene of arrest of the Taingdah Mingyi. Photographer: Beato, Felice
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View of entrance. This appears to be the structure described by George W. Bird, Wanderings in Burma (Bournemouth and London, 1897, p. 266): 'The small brick building in front of which are a number of white washed masonry pillars with a cornice running round the four sides, was built by King Thibaw as a sort of lounge or rustic retreat. The square in front was formerly a tank, with sloping brick sides, and was adorned with foliage plants and sweet smelling flowers, and here the king would take tea and listen to musicians, soothsayers, or singers. This is now set apart as quarters for the Engineer-in-Chief, P.W.D., when on circuit.'
