EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a serene moment in British Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, during the 1880s. In the image, a distinguished gentleman is depicted sitting beneath the shade of a majestic native tree. The sheer size and grandeur of the tree emphasize its significance within the landscape. Taken by Scowen & Co. , one of the most accomplished photographic firms in 19th-century Ceylon, this print showcases their expertise in capturing both natural beauty and cultural heritage. Charles Scowen and his team were renowned for producing prints that catered to various markets including tourism, commerce, and industry. During this period, Sri Lanka was under British colonial rule from 1815 until it gained independence in 1948. The British referred to it as Ceylon throughout their occupation. This photograph serves as a visual reminder of this historical era when colonial powers left an indelible mark on foreign lands. The stillness portrayed in this image invites contemplation while highlighting the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. It evokes a sense of tranquility amidst vast landscapes that were once part of an expansive empire. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an earlier time when photography was emerging as an art form capable of immortalizing moments like these forever.
