Antique Views of Burma (Myanmar)

This category features original antique views and prints of Burma (modern-day Myanmar), offering visual depictions of landscapes, urban areas, riverbanks and settlements from the 19th century onward. These works often derive from the sketches of travellers, colonial surveyors and artists who documented the region’s geography and culture during periods of exploration and expanding European interest.

Published as engravings or lithographs in atlases, travel literature and illustrated geographic works, these prints provide insight into Burma’s natural environment and built places prior to the era of modern photography. They reflect the interplay of local tradition with emerging global connectivity.

Antique views of Burma are valued for their rarity, historical depth and evocative detail, offering collectors and researchers a window into a region of dynamic cultural and geographic importance.
