EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Peradeniya, Ceylon during the late 19th century. The image was captured by Charles T. Scowen, an English photographer known for his remarkable work in documenting various landscapes and cultures. In this particular photograph, we are transported to a bustling street scene in Peradeniya. The attention to detail is exquisite as we observe locals going about their daily lives against a backdrop of colonial architecture. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this vibrant town. The Colombo Apothecaries Co. Ltd. , a Sri Lankan company established between the 1880s and 1920s, is prominently featured in the foreground of the image. This adds an interesting element to the photograph, hinting at the commercial activities that were taking place during that era. Printed after 1892 using albumen silver techniques, this photo showcases Scowen's mastery in capturing both architectural beauty and human activity within a single frame. It serves as a valuable historical document offering glimpses into life during British colonial rule in Ceylon. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, it transports us back through time - allowing us to appreciate not only Scowen's artistic talent but also providing insight into an important period of history for Peradeniya and its people.
