The De Soysa Lying-In Home and Medical Museum, Colombo, 1891
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph capturing the exterior of a remarkable charitable institution in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The image, created by the renowned Dutch photographer LK van Dort, was published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" in 1891. This architectural masterpiece, known as the De Soysa Lying-In Home and Medical Museum, was established by Catherine de Soysa, the wife of Charles Henry de Soysa Dharmagunawardana Vipula Jayasuriya Karunaratna Disanayaka, a prominent businessman and philanthropist during the British colonial era in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The building served as a lying-in home, providing shelter and medical care for pregnant women and new mothers, as well as a medical museum showcasing various medical curiosities. The photograph reveals the grandeur of the building's Victorian-era design, with its intricate architectural details, tall columns, and spacious verandas. The exterior exudes an aura of tranquility and sophistication, reflecting the era's emphasis on science, healthcare, and philanthropy. The image also highlights the country's rich cultural heritage, as it was a time when the British Empire extended its influence over Sri Lanka, leaving behind a lasting impact on its architecture and social institutions. The photograph, with its timeless appeal, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a bygone era when charitable institutions played a significant role in providing essential services to the community. Today, the De Soysa Lying-In Home and Medical Museum stands as a testament to the generosity and vision of Catherine de Soysa and her husband, Charles Henry de Soysa, and serves as an inspiration for contemporary efforts to improve healthcare and support pregnant women and new mothers in Sri Lanka.
