EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant and bustling street scene in Colpetty, a district of Colombo, the capital city of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the early 1910s. The image portrays the unique blend of British colonial influence and local Indian culture that characterized this period in the island nation's history. The picture shows a busy road lined with impressive European-style buildings, their grand facades a testament to the power and wealth of the British Empire. The trees, lush with foliage, provide a refreshing contrast to the concrete structures, their shade offering relief from the tropical sun. People of various ethnicities and backgrounds can be seen going about their daily business. Some are dressed in traditional Indian attire, while others wear Western-style clothing. A rickshaw pulls up to the curb, its driver ready to ferry passengers through the city's traffic. Nearby, an ox-drawn cart laden with goods waits patiently for its turn to move. The presence of the oxen and carts serves as a reminder of the traditional modes of transport that coexisted alongside the more modern forms brought about by colonial rule. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich tapestry of life in Colombo during the 1910s, a time of transition and change.
