This vintage print takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century Sri Lanka. The image showcases the awe-inspiring Shrine of the Sacred Footprint, perched majestically on the summit of Adams Peak. Crafted through an illustrative technique known as engraving in 1879, this exquisite piece of historic art transports us to a time when Victorian explorers were captivated by distant cultures and their rich traditions. The intricate details captured in this nineteenth-century engraving offer a glimpse into the deep-rooted cultural significance surrounding Adams Peak.
