EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. Captured by artist Alfred William Amandus Plate, this print is part of his renowned collection titled "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon". In this mesmerizing scene, we are transported to a serene riverbank where majestic elephants are being bathed in a sacred ritual at the temple. The image beautifully captures the harmonious connection between humans and animals as mahouts gently guide these magnificent creatures through their cleansing process. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and timelessness to the composition while emphasizing the intricate details on both land and water. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in this panoramic vista that showcases not only the natural beauty but also cultural traditions deeply rooted in Sri Lankan heritage. Plate's skillful photography transports us beyond geographical boundaries, allowing us to appreciate Asia's rich artistic legacy. This print serves as a visual testament to how art can bridge continents and centuries by preserving moments that hold immense historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" we are reminded of our interconnectedness with nature and our duty to protect these sacred creatures who have long been revered in Sri Lankan culture.
