Description: | Photograph of the Cantonment Gardens, Rangoon (Yangon), in Burma (Myanmar), taken by Philip Adolphe Klier in the 1890s. This is a general view looking along the small lake in the gardens towards a bridge set amid trees. The Cantonment Gardens were situated within the military cantonment which lay to the north of the city, immediately to the south-west of the Shwe Dagon Paya, and were among several public gardens and parks in Rangoon. They were planned in 1854-56 by William Scott of the Calcutta Botanic Gardens and laid out by the city’s Public Works Department. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Klier, Philip Adolphe (c.1845-1911) | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
