EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Negombo Canal, Showing Padda Boats" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century Ceylon. Captured by artist Alfred William Amandus Plate in 1890 but published in 1910 as part of The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon collection, this image showcases the rich transportation heritage and architectural beauty of Asia. The scene unfolds with a sun-drenched canal cutting through the picturesque Sri Lankan countryside. Padda boats gracefully glide along the tranquil waters, their presence adding a touch of serenity to the bustling water transport system that once thrived here. The monochrome palette enhances the timeless charm and evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are transported not only geographically but also mentally. We find ourselves immersed in an era where literature and science were intertwined with daily life. This print serves as a window into a world where wagons lined towpaths and buildings stood proudly on the canal's facade. With its meticulous attention to detail, this artwork captures both the grandeur of nature and human ingenuity at play. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate how architecture harmonizes with its surroundings while showcasing Ceylon's unique cultural identity. Through Plate's lens, we glimpse into Western Province's past—a vista that invites contemplation about our own place within time and space—reminding us that even amidst progress, there is always value in
