239 x 176 mm. Showing a group of Chin chiefs, wearing their distinctive woven blankets and white turbans, gathered on a raised courtyard, possibly the roof of a bungalow. Scott describes these woven blankets in his Gazetteer (Scott 1900, volume 1, part 1, p.468).

During the punitive campaigns against the Chins groups of chiefs were taken to Rangoon several times, 'the sight of which it was hoped would ensure their loyalty' (Scott 1900, part 1, volume 1, p.443). A group from Tiddim was sent down in 1890 and two other parties made the journey in 1891, one from the north in May and one from the south in October. This, and the following prints, might well have been taken on one of these journeys. The results of this plan were disappointing: ‘The tales told were too marvellous for the acceptation of their fellow-countrymen. Their scepticism irritated many of the travellers, who had moreover seen so many marvellous things that after a time they seem to have doubted the evidence of their own senses. Sneers and insinuations worked so effectively with some that a few of the sight-seers themselves were stung into taking part in later disturbances in the hills’ (Scott 1900, volume 1, part 1, p. 445).
