EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Imperial Possessions" takes us back to the year 1872, offering a glimpse into the British Empire's influence in the Indian Seas. The main panel showcases Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka), while smaller inserts highlight Malacca, Singapore, Penang, and Labouan. Published by A. Fullarton & Co. , renowned publishers from London and Edinburgh, this map is not just a geographical representation but also an artistic masterpiece. What sets this print apart are the exquisite border scenes that depict indigenous peoples and fauna of the region. These intricately detailed illustrations transport us to a time when vibrant cultures coexisted with abundant wildlife. From traditional clothing adorning groups of people engaged in various activities to majestic birds like peacocks spreading their colorful plumage, every element tells its own story. The presence of elephants and boars hints at hunting practices prevalent during that era. This medium-sized group photograph captures both human activity and natural beauty harmoniously intertwined within one frame. Displayed vertically with accompanying text providing essential information about each location depicted on the map, this print becomes more than just an aesthetic piece; it becomes a historical artifact worth cherishing. Preserved by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, this print invites viewers to appreciate not only its visual appeal but also delve into the rich history behind Britain's colonial possessions in Asia during the late 19th century.
