EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tranquil waters of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), in the early 1910s, a romantic couple embarks on an enchanting journey aboard a traditional catamaran. The sun begins to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the grassy shores and the calm sea. Dressed in their finest white colonial attire, the man and woman, with an air of elegance and refinement, gaze into each other's eyes, their hands intertwined. The gentle rocking of the boat adds to the serene atmosphere, as the couple is lost in their own world, oblivious to the passing of time. The twilight hours bring a sense of magic and wonder, as the couple woo and court one another, their love story unfolding against the backdrop of the exotic island. The poetic verse inscribed on the print captures the essence of this romantic moment: "On the shores of Ceylon, where the grasses sway, A boat of love, where two hearts found their way, In the gentle twilight, as day turns to night, Two souls entwined, in the soft, warm light." This image, taken circa 1910, transports us back to a time of British colonial rule and romantic courtship, where love stories were written amidst the beauty and allure of the Indian Ocean.
