EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of a roadway in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), circa 1890s. The image transports us to a bygone era, where the charm of the past is palpable. The road, lined with tall, shady palm trees, offers a cool respite from the tropical heat. The trees, their leaves rustling gently in the breeze, provide a natural canopy, casting dappled shadows on the winding road. In the background, quaint houses with red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls can be seen, adding to the picturesque scene. People, dressed in traditional Asian attire, are going about their daily business, oblivious to the camera's lens. The image offers a glimpse into the history and culture of this fascinating country, located in the heart of Asia. Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, has a rich and complex history, with influences from India, Portugal, the Dutch, and the British. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of life in the late 1800s, when the world was changing rapidly. The roadway, with its trees and houses, remains a testament to the beauty and resilience of this remarkable island nation.
