EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Devil-Dancers, Ceylon" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. Captured by an English photographer, this image is part of a private collection that showcases the diverse cultures and races of mankind. The photograph depicts a group of native devil-dancers from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. These dancers are adorned in intricate costumes and masks, exuding an aura of mystery and intrigue. Their rhythmic movements and intense expressions suggest a powerful spiritual performance. As we delve into the history behind this image, we discover that it was featured in the book "Living Races of Mankind" published around 1910 by Hutchinson. This publication aimed to document various ethnic groups across the world during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through this photograph, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of humanity's differences and cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to our fascination with exploring other ways of life beyond our own borders. With its historical significance dating back over a century ago, this print offers us a glimpse into both past traditions and timeless human curiosity about distant lands. It invites us to appreciate diversity while acknowledging our shared humanity throughout different eras.
