ပုဂံမြို့​ အာနန္ဒာဘုရား​အနီး​၌ ​ဒေသအတွင်း​ ပုန်ကန်ထကြွ​သော မြန်မာတို့​အား​ လိုက်လံ နိုမ်နင်း​သည့်​
မြန်မာပုလိပ်အဖွဲ့​အား​ ​တွေ့​ရစဉ်။

“This pagoda is built on a cruciform plan, with entrances facing N., S.E. and W. It is a very remarkable building…in a wonderful state of preservation. Being enclosed with a high brick wall, the photograph had to betaken from a slight elevation some distance off, and could not therefore be done on a larger scale. The wholecountry round for miles is covered with the remains of old brick Pagodas; there are said to have been 9,999 of them, and it certainly appears probable that this is not beyond the mark. The group in the foreground consists of a party of Burmese mounted Police whom it was advisable to take out on the occasion, as there were numerous
small bands of Dacoits about at that time who might have interfered unpleasantly with the taking of the picture.”
