EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of traditional transportation in Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. The image showcases a Double Bullock Cart, an iconic mode of transport that was widely used in the 19th century. The photo, taken by an English photographer during this era, offers a glimpse into the daily life and cultural heritage of Ceylon at that time. The cart is beautifully adorned with intricate details and appears to be pulled by two strong bullocks. The composition highlights the lush surroundings of Ceylon, with its tropical vegetation serving as a picturesque backdrop for this unique form of transportation. It evokes a sense of nostalgia and curiosity about how people traveled across these lands before modern advancements. This print is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" published around 1900. Its inclusion in this publication speaks to its significance as one of the most remarkable views captured during that period. As we admire this historical photograph, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within art but also how it can provide us with valuable insights into different cultures and their ways of life.
