EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Field Sports of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, Colombo, Ceylon" takes us back to 19th-century Sri Lanka. The illustration, originally published in The Graphic on October 8,1887, showcases a lively scene filled with sketches of various field sports. In the foreground, we see a bustling crowd gathered around an array of thrilling activities. Bullock races capture the attention of spectators as these magnificent animals gallop across the field. Meanwhile, participants engage in traditional highland games such as caber tossing and cattle herding. The presence of both Scottish and Sri Lankan elements highlights the cultural exchange taking place during this time period. It is fascinating to witness how these two distinct cultures merge harmoniously through sport and recreation. One cannot help but be drawn to Appoo Sinho, a prominent figure depicted in this artwork. As a player or organizer of these field sports events, he represents the bridge between Asian traditions and European influences. Through this enchanting print by Bridgeman Images from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, viewers are transported back in time to witness not only an exciting display of athleticism but also the rich tapestry that emerges when different cultures intersect on foreign soil.
