EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from 1780 showcases the majestic figure of Raja-Singa, the King of Ceylon. The print is part of a collection titled "Receuil des Estampes, Representant les Rangs et les Dignites, suivant le Costume de toutes les Nations existantes" which translates to "Collection of Prints Depicting the Ranks and Dignities According to the Costumes of all Existing Nations". Created by Pierre Duflos, this artwork offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and regal attire worn during that era. Raja-Singa's grandeur is evident as he stands in full length wearing his imperial robes. His title includes being the Grand Duke of the 7 Corles, Lord of Alican havens, and Lord of the Golden Sun. This portrayal signifies his esteemed position and authority over various regions such as Negombo, Colombo, Dambadan, Tamil Nadu in India (then known as Madras Presidency), and Sri Lanka. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight not only Raja-Singa's opulent garments but also his distinguished turban. As Count of Cotiar and Prince of Uva among other titles bestowed upon him, he exudes an air of nobility befitting a ruler. This historical piece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and cultural significance. It allows us to appreciate the splendorous past while offering insight into one man's reign
