EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical moment when Sri Vikrama Rajasinha, the king of Kandy in Sri Lanka, was dismissed by the English in 1815. The image, created by Richard Caton Woodville in 1924, captures the essence of this significant event. The photograph depicts a solemn scene as troops from the English army stand tall and proud while surrounding King Vikrama Rajasinha. The king himself appears dignified yet defeated, his regal presence contrasting with the colonial forces that have overpowered him. This powerful illustration serves as a reminder of British colonialism's impact on Sri Lanka during this period. Woodville's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen, capturing not only the military uniforms but also conveying a sense of cultural significance through symbols and gestures. The composition transports viewers back to a time when native cultures were subjugated under foreign rule. Published originally in Aller Lapja magazine in Hungary, this image has since become an important piece of historical documentation. It symbolizes both resistance against colonization and loss for Sri Lankan sovereignty. As we observe this poignant moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that history is shaped by those who hold power and those who fight against it. Through Woodville's skilled handiwork, we are transported into an era where empires clashed and nations struggled for independence.
