EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in 1902, showcases a group of distinguished Singhalese men of high rank. Each individual exudes an air of authority and elegance as they stand or sit with poise and confidence. Their traditional attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. The men are adorned in exquisite costumes that highlight their status within their community. Elaborate headwear and meticulously crafted garments add to the allure of this portrait. The intricate details on their clothing speak volumes about the craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Their beards symbolize wisdom and maturity while enhancing their regal appearance. These facial features further emphasize the ethnic diversity found within Asia's vast continent. The setting appears to be a serene outdoor location, allowing us to appreciate both the subjects' grandeur and the natural beauty surrounding them. This photograph is not merely a snapshot frozen in time; it serves as a valuable ethnographic record capturing an important moment in history. Preserved by The Living Races of Mankind publication from 1902, this print offers us insight into the lives and culture of these Singhalese men from over a century ago. It reminds us of our shared human experience across different races, countries, and centuries – an enduring testament to our collective heritage.
