EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Sinhalese washerman in Kandy, Ceylon, back in 1898. The portrait showcases an elderly man adorned with a striking hair ornament, drawing attention to his distinguished appearance. Christian Wilhelm Allers, the creator of this remarkable image, beautifully portrays the subject's side view profile. The photograph offers a glimpse into the life and occupation of this skilled individual who dedicated himself to washing clothes for others. His long beard adds to his wise and experienced demeanor, reflecting years of hard work and dedication in his profession. Set against the backdrop of Sri Lanka's stunning landscape, this lithograph from "Rund um die Erde" by C. W. Allers provides us with a rare insight into 19th-century life on the island. The print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation that transports viewers back in time. With meticulous detail captured through photography techniques, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage present in Ceylon during that era. This portrait not only celebrates one man's unique identity but also pays homage to all those who contributed their skills and expertise within their respective occupations. As we admire this evocative image today, it stands as a testament to Christian Wilhelm Allers' talent for capturing moments frozen in time while offering us an opportunity to appreciate Sri Lanka's vibrant past through visual storytelling.
