EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Arabi in Exile, the Arrival at Colombo, Ceylon, Sri Lanka, 1883: 1" showcases a significant moment in history. The print captures the arrival of Arabi and his companions on the shores of Colombo in a steam launch from the "Mareotis". As they disembark, they are greeted by a group of eagerly waiting Mahomedans who have come to welcome the exiles. The scene also depicts Arabi's residence at Lake House in Colombo, where he would spend his time during exile. In another touching moment captured by this engraving, Arabi is seen kissing the hand of a Mollah or priest who had salaamed to him upon his landing. This gesture symbolizes respect and gratitude towards those who support him. As Aralai and Toqba pass from the jetty to their carriage, we catch a glimpse of Egyptian women forming an intriguing party nearby. The image also features the Chief of Ceylon Police receiving Arabi with great honor upon his arrival. This vintage print not only serves as a historic documentation but also showcases Victorian illustrative techniques and artistic style prevalent during that era. Its retro charm adds depth to our understanding of this significant event in Arabi's life and highlights its cultural importance within Sri Lankan history.
