This vintage photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases a pontoon bridge spanning the tranquil waters of a river in Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. The bridge, a marvel of engineering during that era, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the travellers and settlers who built it. The archival image, captured in the 1880s, 1890s, or early 1900s, presents a scene of simple yet vibrant local life. Children, dressed in traditional attire, frolic in the clear waters of the river, their laughter echoing through the air. The bridge, with its wooden planks and supporting pontoons, is a sturdy yet elegant structure that connects the two banks of the river, allowing for the movement of people and goods. The surrounding landscape is dotted with lush greenery and quaint buildings, giving a glimpse into the architectural and cultural richness of the region. The photograph, an albumen print, is a window into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure, and the world was filled with new discoveries. The image, with its historic significance and beautiful composition, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history and culture of Sri Lanka or the broader global history of the 19th century.
