EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Boralesgamuwa, c1890" and taken by the talented artist Alfred William Amandus Plate, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the past. The image is part of the renowned collection called "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" published in 1910 by Plate Ltd in Colombo, Kandy & Nuwara Eliya. In this scene, we are transported to a quaint village street in Boralesgamuwa, Sri Lanka. The architecture reflects the rich Asian heritage with traditional buildings lining both sides of the road. The sunlight gracefully filters through the thatched roofs and casts beautiful shadows on the lane below. A group of local women can be seen walking along the avenue, carrying umbrellas to shield themselves from the sun's rays. Their presence adds life and vibrancy to this serene setting. It is fascinating to observe how people went about their daily lives during this era. This monochrome photograph not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a window into Sri Lanka's cultural history. Its detailed composition showcases an amalgamation of artistry and scientific precision – an exquisite blend between literature and science. As we gaze upon this remarkable vista from over a century ago, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us and how they shaped our present-day world. This print truly encapsulates the essence of Ceylon's beauty while honoring its rich heritage for generations to come.
