EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Weeks Camping out and Hunting near the Horton Plains, Ceylon" takes us back to a bygone era of adventure and leisure. The scene unfolds in the lush forests of Sri Lanka, where a group of early rising ladies gather for their morning meal amidst an encampment. As the sun begins to rise over the horizon, mutual astonishment fills the air as a sudden appearance startles both Uncle Remus and Lady. The forest awakens with cries from hounds chasing after a stray doe, routing her through the woods. In this moment of excitement, breakfast is momentarily forgotten as all eyes are fixed on this thrilling spectacle. The atmosphere is one of anticipation and camaraderie as everyone waits eagerly for their hearty breakfast in a charming bower nearby. Horses stand patiently nearby while hunting equipment is carried around by members of the party. Orchid hunting seems to be another activity that adds beauty to this enchanting gathering. Amidst all these activities, there is also time for relaxation and leisurely pursuits such as tennis matches played on a grassy knoll overlooking picturesque scenery. This idyllic setting showcases not only nature's splendor but also highlights feminine grace and elegance against an Asian backdrop. "A Weeks Camping out and Hunting near the Horton Plains" captures moments frozen in time - an exquisite blend of adventure, sport, friendship, and natural beauty that transports us back to 19th-century Ceylon.
