No. 96. Mong Pan Sawbwa's family, 1890. Photographer: Scott, Sir James George
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Group portrait of Sawbwa with wives and children, posed on verandah. Sow Hkun Leng (c.1849-1895), succeeded to the Sawbwaship of Mong Pan in 1886. Scott assesses his character as follows: 'Shrewd and certainly loyal. His father was a Burmese Myook who married Kun Tun U, the Sawbwa's sister Nang Mon. Kun Hlaing's succession was therefore due not to right but to the disturbed nature of the times. He is treated as, and feels himself, an outsider, and is therefore a little awkward and abashed amonghis brother chiefs. He is, however, improving and has a good deal of energy and much trade instinct' (OIOC Mss Eur F278/66 p. 9). For a full account of his period of rule, see J.G. Scott, 'Gazetteer of Upper Burma and the Shan States' (Rangoon, 1901), part 2, vol. 2, pp. 457-459.
