EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the All Saints Church in Point de Galle, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), as depicted by an English School artist in the 19th century. The church stands tall and majestic against a backdrop of lush greenery, exuding a sense of tranquility and spirituality. The intricate details captured in this print highlight the architectural beauty of the church. Its grand facade features arched windows, ornate carvings, and a towering spire that reaches towards the heavens. The surrounding landscape adds to its charm, with palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. All Saints Church holds historical significance as one of the oldest Anglican churches in Sri Lanka. Built during British colonial rule, it served as a place of worship for both locals and expatriates residing in Point de Galle. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 13th, 1872. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a time when colonial influences shaped architecture across distant lands. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and cultural exchange between nations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection for us to admire and appreciate. Through this print, we can immerse ourselves in the beauty of All Saints Church while also gaining insight into its historical context within Ceylon's rich heritage.
