EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare glimpse into the lives of the Veddahs or Wild Men, a small and secluded community residing in the outlying districts of Sri Lanka. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases their unique way of life that has remained untouched by modern civilization. The Veddahs, known for their minimal numbers, have managed to preserve their ancient traditions and cultural heritage despite living on the fringes of society. Confined to these remote regions, they have maintained a harmonious existence with nature, relying on hunting and gathering as their primary means of sustenance. In this print from a private collection, we are granted an intimate view into their world. The rugged terrain serves as a backdrop for these wild men who appear stoic yet connected to their surroundings. Their attire reflects simplicity and practicality while exuding an air of mystery that captivates our imagination. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" it reminds us of the rich diversity found within human cultures across Asia. It is through photography like this that we can appreciate both the beauty and resilience exhibited by communities such as the Veddahs in preserving their ways amidst an ever-changing world.
