EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant and intricate Ceylonese costumes of 1880, captured in an enchanting engraving by the German School of the 19th century. The image takes us back in time to a rich cultural moment, as we witness women, men, and children adorned in traditional attire that reflects the unique fashion of Sri Lanka. The composition is filled with movement and energy as a dancer gracefully twirls while musicians accompany her with rhythmic beats. In another corner, a group of young boys captivate our attention with their devil dance performance, showcasing their impressive choreography skills. Each individual is meticulously dressed from head to toe; their clothes and hats exude elegance and sophistication. The Sinhalese page boy stands out among them all with his striking dress that symbolizes national pride. This print not only captures the beauty of Ceylonese fashion but also provides insight into the diverse customs and traditions prevalent during this era. Thanks to digital cleaning techniques employed on this image, every detail shines through vividly. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene from history, it serves as a reminder of how clothing can be more than just garments; they are expressions of identity and culture. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this piece for us to appreciate its historical significance for years to come.
