EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Road Beside the Kelaniya River, c1890" by Alfred William Amandus Plate, takes us back in time to early 20th century Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The image showcases a picturesque scene where nature seamlessly blends with human activity. Alongside the tranquil river stands a row of tall palm trees, their elegant fronds swaying gently in the breeze. A winding road meanders through this idyllic landscape, leading our gaze towards a cluster of humble huts nestled under the shade of lush foliage. As we explore this snapshot from history, we notice several figures dotting the scene. A group of local women dressed in traditional Asian attire can be seen walking along the road, carrying baskets on their heads or chatting amongst themselves. An ox-drawn cart trundles past them slowly as its driver guides it down this scenic avenue. The composition exudes a sense of serenity and simplicity that transports us to another era. It offers an intimate glimpse into daily life during colonial times when transportation relied heavily on animals for both people and goods. Plate's masterful capture not only documents a specific location but also encapsulates the essence of Ceylon's natural beauty and cultural heritage. This print is part of "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" an artistic compilation that celebrates the country's diverse landscapes and landmarks. With its timeless charm and evocative atmosphere, this photograph serves as a window to appreciate how much
