EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Market, Colombo, c1880 (1905)" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Sri Lanka during the late 19th century. Captured by artist Alexander Henry Hallam Murray and featured in his publication "The High-Road of Empire" this image offers a glimpse into the vibrant market scene of Colombo. In this outdoor setting, we see a diverse community engaging in trade and commerce. Men dressed in semi-dress attire can be seen standing amidst a crowd of people, showcasing the cultural diversity that thrived within the British Empire. The presence of oxen adds an element of rural charm to this urban landscape. The colors captured by Murray's watercolor technique bring life to every detail, from the vibrant clothing worn by locals to the natural hues surrounding them. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also provides historical insight into daily life and economic activities during that era. "The Market, Colombo" is more than just an artistic masterpiece; it serves as a window into history—a testament to both Sri Lankan culture and British colonial influence. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in a world where tradition meets progress on the high road of empire.
