Philipp Adolphe Klier (1845–1911) and D. A. Ahuja (ca. 1865–ca. 1939) were two of the most significant commercial photographers of British Burma. They lived in colonial Rangoon and often competed for customers and employees. Their businesses adapted to the growing demand in the postcard industry and catered to foreign and local markets, a key element to their success. Since the colonial period, their photos have been reproduced and reinterpreted in various forms, yet surprisingly little is known about their lives a century ago. While much of their original work survives today only as reproductions, these images remain an integral part of Myanmar’s visual heritage.
