EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "A Bullock Hackery Race at Colombo, Ceylon" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century Sri Lanka. This dynamic artwork, created by an English School artist, captures the exhilarating moment of a traditional chariot race in full swing. In this bustling scene, we witness the sheer energy and excitement as bullocks pull their hackeries (carts) through the lively city of Colombo. The air is filled with anticipation as spectators cheer on their favorite competitors, creating a symphony of cheers and applause that echoes through the streets. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on August 13th, 1887 - a testament to its historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka), showcasing one of its beloved traditions: bullock hackery racing. As our eyes wander across this intricate print, we are transported to another time and place. We can almost feel the thundering hooves and hear the creaking wheels as these magnificent animals race towards victory. The artist's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the ornate chariots adorned with colorful decorations to the determined expressions on both human and animal faces. This enchanting artwork serves not only as a visual feast but also reminds us of our shared humanity across different cultures and eras. It celebrates diversity while highlighting our universal love for thrilling competitions that unite communities worldwide.
