Entrance to the Shwe Zeegong Pagoda.[Pagan].
Photograph by Linnaeus Tripe of the entrance to the Shwezigon temple in the Pagan (Bagan) region of Burma (Myanmar), from a portfolio of 120 prints. With this portfolio of architectural and topographical views, Tripe, an officer from the Madras Infantry, created an early photographic record of Burma. The 1855 British Mission to Burma was instructed to persuade the Burmese king Mindon Min to accept the annexation of Pegu (Lower Burma) following the Anglo-Burmese War of 1852. It was also the intention of the British to collect information about the country. They travelled in Burma from August to early November 1855, stopping at various places to allow Linnaeus Tripe, the official photographer, and the mission's artist, Colesworthy Grant, to perform their duties. Capital of the first kingdom of Burma from the 11th to the 14th century, Pagan is one of the most important archaeological sites in South East Asia, with the remains of over 2000 stupas, temples and monasteries scattered over a 30 km radius.This view of the Shwezigon Pagoda

shows the massive Burmese temple guardian figures, also known as chinthes, or leogryphs. Tripe wrote, 'Shwe Zeegong is one of the most favourite places of worship in Burmah. It contains a facsimile of one of Gautama's teeth. It dates from about A.D. 1064'. An important place of pilgrimage in Pagan, the Shwezigon's lower terraces were apparently built by Anawrahta (ruled 1044-77) and the rest of the edifice was built by Kyanzittha (ruled 1084-1113).
