EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of traditional Sri Lankan fashion and culture as depicted in Mary Evans Prints Online's 'A man and woman of Ceylon (Sri Lanka)' from a book of national types and costumes, published in 1818. The man, dressed in a thin, white shirt and loose-fitting trousers, holds a long pipe in his hand, while the woman, adorned in a regional outfit, gracefully balances a bowl of fruit on her head. The couple sits beneath a large branching tree, adding to the idyllic setting. The woman's attire is a beautiful representation of traditional Sri Lankan clothing, featuring a thin sari-like garment draped around her body, with a thin cloth wrapped around her waist and shoulders. Her hair is styled in intricate braids, adorned with flowers and other decorative elements. The man's thin, thin pipe and the woman's fruit bowl are symbols of the country's rich history and agricultural heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the people of Sri Lanka during the early 19th century. The image brings to life the unique and diverse regional costumes and traditions that continue to be an integral part of Sri Lankan culture and identity today. The couple's serene expression and the peaceful surroundings evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony, making this photograph a true treasure in the annals of Sri Lankan history and fashion.
