EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Tamil Lady in a Rickshaw, taken by an English Photographer in the 19th century. The image showcases a slice of life from Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka), depicting the traditional mode of transport prevalent during that era. The rickshaw, pulled by a dedicated individual, served as an essential means of transportation for both locals and visitors alike. This timeless photograph beautifully encapsulates the rich cultural heritage and vibrant atmosphere of Asia. The Tamil lady featured in this image exudes grace and elegance as she sits comfortably within the rickshaw. Her attire reflects her cultural identity, while her serene expression hints at a momentary pause amidst the bustling streets. This photograph is part of a private collection but was also used to illustrate "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" publication around 1900. Its inclusion in this esteemed compilation speaks volumes about its artistic merit and ability to capture the imagination. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness not only the beauty of Sri Lankan landscapes but also appreciate how people traversed these lands with style and grace. It serves as a testament to photography's power to freeze moments forever, allowing us glimpses into history that might otherwise be lost.
