EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 1851 engraving titled "Kiddapple, the Rebel Buddhist Priest, Shot at Kandy, Sri Lanka" takes us on a visual journey back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases an illustrative technique that perfectly captures the essence of this dramatic event. Intriguingly retro-styled and vintage in nature, this engraved print transports us to the heart of 19th century Sri Lanka. It depicts Kiddapple, a rebellious figure who defied societal norms as both a priest and an advocate for change. The scene unfolds in Kandy, where tensions were running high during this period. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we witness the pivotal moment when Kiddapple was shot – an act that forever altered the course of his life and left an indelible mark on Sri Lankan history. The Victorian-era aesthetic adds depth and richness to our understanding of this time period. Through its intricate details and masterful engravement techniques, it offers us a glimpse into not only artistic practices but also cultural nuances prevalent during that era. As we contemplate this extraordinary piece from Liszt Collection's archives - part of their Arkheia series - let us reflect upon how art can serve as a powerful medium for preserving historical narratives. This engraving stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as a reminder of the complex tapestry woven by individuals
