EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic beauty and colonial charm of Bathing at Mount Lavinia, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), circa 1920. The image showcases a picturesque bathing beach and terrace building, nestled amidst lush palm trees and overlooking the tranquil blue waters of the Indian Ocean. The terrace, with its ornate columns and arches, serves as a backdrop to the leisurely activities of the British tourists, who are seen enjoying a refreshing dip in the sea or sunbathing on the rocks. The women, dressed in elegant swimsuits and hats, engage in lively conversations, while the men relax on the terrace, sipping on cool drinks and taking in the breathtaking views. The serene seashore, with its crashing waves and rocky outcrops, adds to the allure of this idyllic colonial retreat. Mount Lavinia, a popular resort town during the British colonial era, was renowned for its beautiful coastline, warm climate, and luxurious accommodations, making it a favorite destination for the affluent travelers from India and beyond. This photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the bygone era of the British Raj and the carefree lifestyle of the colonial elite.
