EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in the late 1890s, as two local women and a man pose confidently for the camera. Dressed in traditional attire, the women wear brightly colored saris, their bare feet adorned with intricate bangles and anklets. Their hair is styled in elaborate braids, held in place by ornate combs and flowers. The man, wearing a white turban and loose-fitting shirt, completes the scene with his traditional headdress and ethnic type. The women's expressions are serious and proud, their eyes meeting the camera with a sense of dignity and strength. The man, with a gentle smile, appears to be protective and supportive of the women. The backdrop of lush greenery and vibrant flowers adds to the exotic and alluring atmosphere of the image. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Ceylon during the colonial era, a time when traditional practices and customs were being influenced by Western culture. The women's uncovered faces and direct gaze challenge the prevailing Western notions of modesty and subservience, making this image a powerful representation of Sri Lankan identity and resilience. The intricate details of their clothing and accessories, as well as the natural beauty of their surroundings, make this photograph a valuable historical document and a testament to the unique heritage of Sri Lanka.
