EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, it showcases a fascinating mode of transport - a rickshaw and racing hackery pulled by bullocks. These majestic animals powerfully stride forward, propelling the carriage at an impressive speed of about 12 miles per hour. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" around 1900. The scene evokes curiosity about how this unique form of transportation must have been experienced during that time. Intriguingly, this print offers us a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Sri Lanka. It highlights not only the practicality but also the elegance with which people traveled through its landscapes. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their archives, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind capturing such moments and the significance they hold within our collective memory. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where rickshaws were commonplace on Ceylon's streets - reminding us that even simple means of transport can tell stories worth cherishing forever.
