EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history as Edward, Prince of Wales, boldly rides on the footplate of a locomotive over the Ghaut, a sheer cliff in Sri Lanka, in 1876. The Prince, who would later become King Edward VIII, was on a tour of India and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to strengthen diplomatic relations and show support for the British colonial rule. The scene presents a thrilling contrast of danger and beauty. The locomotive, with its powerful steam engine and iron frame, is perched precariously on the edge of the Ghaut, a cliff dropping steeply into the lush greenery below. The Prince, dressed in a suit and holding onto the engine's controls, appears unfazed by the daring ride, his expression filled with excitement and adventure. The railway transport system in Sri Lanka, established during the British colonial rule, played a significant role in the development of the country's infrastructure and economy. This photograph not only documents a historical moment but also showcases the engineering marvels of the time. The scenery in the background is breathtaking, with the lush greenery, winding rivers, and rugged cliffs creating a picturesque backdrop. The photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the past and the spirit of adventure that defined the colonial era. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of transportation and the daring exploits of the past. It serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of those who ventured into the unknown, pushing the boundaries of technology and exploration.
