EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Typical Street Scene in Native Quarters, Colombo, c1890" takes us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century Sri Lanka. Captured by the talented artist Alfred William Amandus Plate as part of his collection "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" this image offers a glimpse into the daily life and architecture of a vibrant Asian city. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an urban road teeming with activity. The street is filled with people going about their daily routines amidst the backdrop of traditional buildings that line both sides. The architectural facades showcase intricate details that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka. As our eyes wander through this busy scene, we notice various modes of transportation present. From horse-drawn wagons to pedestrians navigating their way through the crowded avenue, it's clear that movement is constant in this dynamic cityscape. This monochrome masterpiece not only captures a moment from the past but also invites us to contemplate how cities evolve over time. It serves as a reminder that even though decades have passed since its creation, certain aspects such as architecture and human interaction remain timeless. Through Plate's lens and artistic vision, we are granted access to a world long gone but forever preserved within these pages. This print stands as a testament to his talent for capturing authentic glimpses into different cultures and transporting viewers across continents with just one glance.
