This sensitive portrait of an unknown Burmese woman is a fine example of how John McCosh, a surgeon with the Bengal Army, fused artistic and anthropological interests in his portraiture. McCosh was keen to learn about the new peoples and societies that he came into contact with while on campaign. In this sense his photographic work fits into the wider pattern of the Victorian spirit of scientific endeavour, which encompassed a desire to understand the world through systematically exploring, recording and classifying it contents. Yet clearly McCosh also approaches his subjects with an artistic eye. He was keen to capture the essence and dignity of an individual and his work evinces close attention to posture and expression.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
