EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured photograph captures the vibrant essence of a Native Boutique or Shop in Ceylon, dating back to the early 20th century. The image showcases an open-fronted shop adorned with tiled roofs and bustling with activity. A covered ox-cart stands nearby, adding to the authenticity of this street scene. Pedestrians can be seen strolling along the crowded street, while customers engage with vendors selling their wares. Bananas are prominently displayed, enticing shoppers passing by. The seller, dressed in traditional Singhalese attire, exudes a sense of cultural pride as they attend to their customers' needs. The atmosphere is alive with energy as locals and tourists alike explore this market-like setting. Shoppers clad in lunghis browse through various items on offer at the boutique. This snapshot offers a glimpse into daily life during that era in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), showcasing its rich heritage and diverse community. Preserved by PlAtA© Ltd. , Ceylon, this photograph now resides within the collection of Royal Society for Asian Affairs in London, UK. Its historical significance cannot be understated as it provides valuable insight into the social fabric and commercial activities prevalent at that time.
