EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic New Town Hall in Colombo, Ceylon, captured around 1890 by the talented artist Alfred William Amandus Plate. The grandeur of this government building is beautifully depicted against a monochrome backdrop, highlighting its intricate architecture and historical significance. The New Town Hall stands as a symbol of Asian excellence in design and construction, representing the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka. Its impressive facade exudes elegance and sophistication, reflecting the architectural style prevalent during the late 19th century. As we gaze upon this remarkable vista, we are transported back to a time when literature praised such magnificent structures that dotted the landscape. This particular image was featured in "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" a renowned book published by Plate Ltd in 1910. The viewer's eye is drawn towards the driveway leading up to this administration building, emphasizing its importance within society at that time. The New Town Hall served as both an administrative hub and a gathering place for important events throughout history. This print serves as a testament to Alfred William Amandus Plate's artistic prowess and his ability to capture not only buildings but also their essence. It allows us to appreciate the beauty of Colombo's architectural heritage while providing insight into life during the early 20th century in Ceylon.
