Burma / Myanmar: A Chinese merchant seated in a studio photograph with his young wife, Watts & Skeen Yangon / Rangoon,1895

Chinese communities had existed for many centuries in rural Burma and were largely formed by migrants travelling overland from China into Burma along the north-eastern trade routes and rivers.<br/><br/>. The urban Chinese population of cities such as Rangoon (Yangon) originated largely during the colonial era when Chinese from the coastal provinces of China came by sea to work as merchants, among other professions.<br/><br/>. This photograph was most probably taken in Rangoon as it was the location of the firms studio. In 1891 the Imperial Gazetteer of India estimated the Chinese colony in Rangoon as approximately 8,000 people, and this had increased to more than 11,000 by 1901.
