EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Veddah men from the ancient Sinhalese highlands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, during the late 19th century. The Veddahs, also known as the Wanniyala-Aetto or 'forest people,' are an indigenous ethnic group believed to be the earliest inhabitants of the island. In this image, the men are depicted in their traditional attire, wearing only loincloths, and are armed with essential tools for survival - a bow and arrow, and an axe. The Veddahs were renowned hunter-gatherers, and their expertise in archery and axe-making was vital to their way of life. The bow and arrow were used for hunting small game, while the axe was employed for various purposes, including clearing land for cultivation and constructing shelters. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the early ethnographic record of the Veddah people during a time when their traditional way of life was being disrupted by the encroachment of European colonial powers. The image is believed to have been taken between the 1880s and 1900s, an era marked by significant cultural change and the displacement of many indigenous communities. The portrait-style composition of the photograph adds an intimate and personal touch, allowing viewers to connect with the subjects and gain a deeper appreciation for their culture and history. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich and diverse ethnicities that have shaped the tapestry of Sri Lanka's past and continue to influence its present.
