EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""Burghers" of Ceylon; Four Months in Ceylon, 1875" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Sri Lanka. The creator remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the essence of this couple from what is now Sri Lanka is undeniable. The image showcases a man and woman dressed in traditional attire, providing a glimpse into the fashion and clothing styles of that era. The woman stands gracefully in a full-length skirt and blouse adorned with intricate patterns, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Ceylon. Her Lunghi, a traditional wrap-around garment worn by women at that time, adds an element of elegance to her ensemble. Beside her stands a gentleman wearing a hat which hints at his occupation or social status. His attire consists of patterned trousers paired with a loose-fitting shirt, showcasing another facet of traditional dress in Sri Lanka during this period. The attention to detail captured by Henry Walter Bates transports us to this distant land as we imagine ourselves immersed in its vibrant culture. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation – preserving not only the beauty but also the stories behind these individuals' lives. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Illustrated Travels by H. W. Bates published by Cassell Petter Galpin & Co. , we are reminded once again that photography has the power to transcend time and connect us with our past.
