EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene scene of the Lewella ferry boat, a vital mode of transportation in the suburbs of Kandy, Central Province, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), circa 1910. The Lewella ferry, with its distinctive outrigger, is shown skillfully navigating the calm waters, carrying a group of passengers dressed in colorful attire. The men, wearing turbans and white clothing, are intently focused on their task of rowing with oars in unison, their faces reflecting determination and concentration. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the British colonial era in Ceylon during the 1910s. The passengers, dressed in pink, green, and orange clothing, add a splash of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of the lush greenery that surrounds the shore. The tranquil water reflects the clear blue sky, making for a picturesque tableau. The Lewella ferry was a vital connection for the local community, providing access to essential services and facilitating the movement of people and goods across the water. This photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Kandy during the colonial period, as they navigated their daily lives amidst the challenges and opportunities presented by the British Empire.
