EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Roadside Scene on the Way to Mt. Lavinia" takes us back in time to the late 19th century in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Captured by artist Alfred William Amandus Plate in 1890 but published in 1910 as part of The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon collection, this image offers a glimpse into daily life during that era. The scene depicts a scenic road lined with lush foliage and towering trees, creating an enchanting avenue through the jungle. As we explore this picturesque landscape, we encounter a group of local people strolling along the roadside. Women gracefully walk alongside men, their traditional Asian attire adding vibrant splashes of color to the monochrome setting. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides insight into the cultural fabric of early 20th-century Ceylon. It showcases how people went about their daily lives amidst breathtaking natural beauty and architectural wonders found along their journey. As we admire this historical gem from The Print Collector's collection, it reminds us of the rich heritage and diverse landscapes that make up Sri Lanka's past. This print serves as both an artistic representation and a window into another time—a testament to Alfred William Amandus Plate's talent for capturing moments that transcend generations.
