EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Prince of Wales in Ceylon, the Princes Highland Piper astonishing the Kandyan Natives" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases an extraordinary encounter between the Prince of Wales and the indigenous people of Kandy, Sri Lanka. In this scene captured by William Small, we witness a mesmerizing display as the Prince's Highland Piper astounds the Kandyan Natives with his bagpipes. The onlookers are visibly amazed by this foreign instrument and its enchanting melodies. Their expressions reflect a mix of curiosity and admiration for this unfamiliar cultural experience. The illustration was originally published in The Graphic on January 15th, 1876, documenting one of many royal visits during that era. It serves as a testament to the global reach and influence of British royalty at that time. Notably, this engraving also highlights the fusion between Scottish and Sri Lankan cultures. While dressed in traditional kilts, representing their Scottish heritage, both piper and prince engage respectfully with their hosts from Asia. "The Prince of Wales in Ceylon" is not just a depiction of historical significance; it also symbolizes unity through shared experiences across different continents. This artwork invites us to appreciate cultural diversity while recognizing moments when traditions intertwine harmoniously.
