EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the exquisite Ceylonese costumes from 1880. The coloured engraving, created by the German School in the 19th century, is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of traditional Sri Lankan fashion. In this enchanting scene, we witness a mesmerizing display of culture and artistry. Women dressed in intricate page dresses adorned with colorful patterns gracefully dance alongside musicians playing traditional instruments. The men, donning striking hats and Sinhalese attire, join in the festivities with their rhythmic devil dance. Amidst this lively celebration, a young boy steals the spotlight as he skillfully plays his drum. His presence adds an endearing touch to this already captivating image. The attention to detail in each costume is remarkable – every garment exudes elegance and reflects the rich cultural heritage of Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka). This engraving serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of these costumes and their significance within Sri Lankan society. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion filled with joyous dancing and harmonious melodies. It reminds us of the power that clothing holds in expressing identity and preserving traditions for generations to come.
