EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Victoria Esplanade, Kandy, Ceylon" takes us back to the late 19th century in Sri Lanka. The artist behind this masterpiece is Alfred William Amandus Plate, who skillfully captures the essence of this Asian city's beauty. The image showcases a stunning vista of Victoria Esplanade, bathed in sunlight that filters through the surrounding trees. The architecture and gardens are meticulously designed, creating an enchanting atmosphere for visitors. In the foreground stands a majestic statue that adds an air of grandeur to the scene. As we delve into this monochrome landscape, it becomes evident that Plate's work not only celebrates art but also intertwines with science and literature. The book-like composition invites viewers to explore not just physical locations but also intellectual realms such as astronomy and the solar system. This photograph transports us to a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages were a common sight on these streets. It offers a glimpse into life during the early 20th century in Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka), capturing its unique charm and cultural heritage. Preserved by The Print Collector29 from "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" published by Plate Ltd. , Colombo, Kandy & Nuwara Eliya in 1910, this print serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. It reminds us of our connection to the past while inviting contemplation on how landscapes evolve over time.
