EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at Queen Street in Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the early 1910s, when the British Raj held sway over the Indian subcontinent. The neoclassical Clock Tower, a prominent landmark and lighthouse, stands proudly at the corner of Queen Street and Baillie Road, its grandeur a testament to the colonial power and influence of the British Empire. The clock tower, with its intricate carvings and ornate details, looms large over the narrow street, its clock hands ticking away the passing minutes. Pedestrians, dressed in the fashion of the time, can be seen hurrying along the cobblestone path, their faces a mix of concentration and determination. Rickshaws, a common mode of transport during this era, line the street, their drivers waiting patiently for fares. The trees lining the street, with their lush green foliage, provide a stark contrast to the stone buildings and add a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The capital city of Colombo, with its vibrant mix of cultures and traditions, is a bustling hub of activity, reflecting the rich history and diversity of the region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the British Raj ruled over Ceylon, and Colombo was a thriving colonial city. It is a reminder of the enduring legacy of the British Empire, and the unique blend of cultures and traditions that make Sri Lanka such a fascinating and intriguing destination.
