EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Snake Charmers, c1890, (1910)" transports us back in time to the enchanting world of Ceylon. The artist behind this mesmerizing piece is Alfred William Amandus Plate, who skillfully captures a moment filled with mystery and intrigue. In the foreground of the image, we see four men engrossed in their craft as snake charmers. Dressed in traditional Asian attire, they sit on the ground playing musical instruments with utmost concentration. Their headdresses and turbans add an exotic touch to their appearance, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka. The snakes themselves take center stage as they slither gracefully around the charmers' bodies. These reptiles are not mere props but rather partners in a delicate dance between man and beast. It is evident that these skilled individuals have mastered their profession through years of practice and dedication. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this scene from over a century ago, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed while appreciating the enduring beauty captured by Plate's lens. "Snake Charmers" serves as a window into both a specific time period - late 19th to early 20th century - and an entire continent's vibrant culture. This print is part of "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" published by Plate Ltd in Colombo, Kandy & Nuwara Eliya
