EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of Ceylon in 1898. Captured by Christian Wilhelm Allers, a renowned creator, this image showcases a Buddhist man holding a boat-shaped object with utmost reverence. The man's serene expression and graceful posture reflect his deep connection to his religious beliefs. The photograph is part of Allers' remarkable book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), where he skillfully combines both written accounts and illustrations to provide an immersive experience for readers. This particular image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka, also known as Ceylon at that time. The striking lithograph captures not only the beauty of its subject but also highlights the traditional attire worn by Sri Lankan Buddhists. The man can be seen wearing a lungi, a garment commonly worn in South Asia. Through this evocative snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to the 19th century when Buddhism played an integral role in shaping society on this beautiful island nation. It serves as a testament to how art and literature have always been powerful tools for preserving history and culture. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate these invaluable glimpses into our past and gain insight into different countries, religions, and artistic expressions from centuries gone by.
