EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Harbour of the Point de Galle in Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. Captured in 1875 by an unknown photographer, this image is a window into a bygone era of exploration and discovery. The bustling port city comes alive with activity as sailing ships gracefully navigate the Indian Ocean waters. The palm trees that line the harbor add a touch of exotic beauty to the scene, reminding us of the tropical paradise that Ceylon was renowned for. The landscape is teeming with nature's wonders, showcasing the harmonious coexistence between man and his surroundings. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can't help but marvel at how trade and transportation played pivotal roles in shaping societies during this time. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of progress. Although its creator remains unknown, this print is a treasure trove of information about 19th-century life in Ceylon. It allows us to immerse ourselves in an era when occupation meant adventure and geographical features were seen through curious eyes. Preserved by Cassell Petter Galpin Company, London E. C. , this piece from Illustrated Travels by H. W. Bates offers not only visual delight but also sparks our imagination about what life must have been like during those four months spent exploring Ceylon's shores.
