The view at the north end of the wooden bridge leading over to Toung-deman Lake, (note that the properties are built on piles to protect them from rising waters) in Amarapura (also known as Amerapoora and Ummerapoora), Mandalay Region, 1855. The image was published in 'Burma Views' in which East India Company army officer Linnaeus Tripe documented Burmese monuments, archaeological sites and landscapes.
