EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era. Taken in 1926, it features an older sinhalese worker from Kandy, Sri Lanka. The man stands proudly outdoors, his direct gaze conveying a sense of wisdom and resilience. Dressed in traditional attire, this gentleman's headdress and turban add to the cultural richness depicted in the image. His headgear is intricately designed, reflecting the craftsmanship prevalent during that time period. The monochrome effect further enhances the timeless quality of this portrait. The location itself holds historical significance as Kandy was once the capital city of ancient Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). This print offers us a glimpse into life during the early 20th century in this vibrant Asian country. Preserved within Der Indische Kulturkreis in Einzeldarstellungen by Georg Muller, Munich, this image serves as a valuable record of cultural heritage. It allows us to appreciate not only the individual portrayed but also provides insight into societal norms and traditions at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, let us reflect on how photography has enabled us to connect with history and gain a deeper understanding of different cultures around the world.
