EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating colour print titled "Maddema Mills, Colombo" takes us back to the early 20th century in South East Asia. Captured by an English photographer from the Look and Learn / Elgar Collection, this image showcases a bustling scene of agricultural industry in the colony. In this snapshot of history, we are transported to a plantation where carts filled with crops are being transported across the landscape. The Maddema Mills stand tall in the background, symbolizing the importance of industry during colonial times. The postcard-like quality adds a touch of nostalgia to this photograph, reminding us of a time when such images were cherished keepsakes. It is evident that tea played a significant role in this region's economy as Lipton's Tea is prominently displayed on one of the carts. Colombo, Sri Lanka's capital city, serves as the backdrop for this picturesque scene. The lush greenery and farming activities create an idyllic agricultural setting unique to Sri Lankan culture. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we gain insight into not only historical practices but also appreciate the beauty found within everyday life during that era. This print captures both cultural heritage and industrial progress intertwined seamlessly within its frame.
