EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cingalese of the Coast; Four Months in Ceylon, 1875" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka during the 19th century. The image showcases two Sinhalese men dressed in traditional attire, their full-length robes elegantly draped over their bodies. With bare feet firmly planted on the ground, they exude a sense of groundedness and connection to their homeland. The men's clothing reflects the fashion trends of that era, with intricately woven skirts and coats adorned with exquisite detailing. Their hats add an element of sophistication to their overall appearance. It is evident that these individuals took great pride in preserving their cultural identity through their choice of dress. The photographer behind this remarkable piece remains unknown but has skillfully captured not only the physical features but also the essence and spirit of these proud individuals. The portrait highlights both occupation and profession as integral parts of one's identity within this society. As we gaze upon this photograph from Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - a testament to the beauty and diversity found within Sri Lanka's history.
