EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us on a visual journey through the lush coffee plantations of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. The print showcases the beauty and intricacy of these vast estates, offering a glimpse into the world of coffee production during that time. The image captures various elements of plantation life, including the Pell Estate and its pulping house in Matala East. We are treated to panoramic views of clearings, young estates like Brae, and even coolie lines where workers resided. Warriapalla Estate stands tall amidst this topography, showcasing its importance in the region's coffee industry. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to Kandanewera Estate with its temporary bungalow nestled among sprawling coffee fields. A store can be seen nearby, serving as a hub for trade and commerce within these plantations. Notably, this engraving also highlights other crops grown in Ceylon at that time such as cinchona plants found in Laggalla. It is a testament to the diversity and richness of agriculture in this part of Asia. Overall, this historical print offers an invaluable glimpse into the past glory days of Ceylon's coffee industry. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring the laborers who worked tirelessly to cultivate these magnificent plantations.
