Journal of a residence in the Burmhan Empire and more particulary at the court of Amarapoorah
Journal of a residence in the Burmhan Empire, an 1821 travelogue by Hiram Cox recounting his time at the court of Amarapoorah in Burma, held by Heidelberg University Library. The hand-coloured plates show seated and standing figures in Burmese court dress and everyday objects, offering a designer reference for costume poses, colour palettes of patterned textiles and mats, and the compositional logic of early nineteenth-century ethnographic plates.
