Free Rest House and Orchard for Poor Wayfarers in Moratto
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating image by LK van Dort, published in "The Graphic. An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" in 1891. The photograph depicts a charitable project initiated by Catherine De Soysa, a philanthropist from Colombo, Sri Lanka, in the late 19th century. The scene unfolds at Moratto, a roadside location in Sri Lanka, where travelers, particularly the poor, can find respite and refreshment. The image showcases a beautiful rest house, surrounded by lush greenery and an orchard filled with trees laden with ripe fruit. The exterior of the rest house is adorned with intricate Victorian-era architectural details, with a pavilion and trees in the foreground adding to the serene atmosphere. Charles Henry De Soysa Dharmagunawardana Vipula Jayasuriya Karunaratna Disanayaka, the husband of Catherine De Soysa, is believed to have played a significant role in the construction of this rest house. The project reflects the spirit of philanthropy and the desire to alleviate the hardships of the poor wayfarers during their long and arduous journeys. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka during the British colonial era, showcasing the harmonious coexistence of nature, architecture, and charity. The engraving, with its intricate details, transports us to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the generosity and kindness of the past. The Free Rest House and Orchard in Moratto continues to stand as a symbol of compassion and hospitality, inspiring us to reflect on the importance of caring for our fellow human beings.
