EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of cultural fusion in a mesmerizing way. Taken in 1898 by Christian Wilhelm Allers, it showcases Pina, a talented drummer boy, immersed in his craft within the serene surroundings of a Buddhist temple in Kandy, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The portrait depicts a young child with an impressive set of double drums securely fastened around his waist. Pina's bare feet symbolize his connection to the sacred ground he stands upon while creating rhythmic melodies that resonate through the temple walls. Allers' work is part of his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), where he beautifully illustrates various cultures and landscapes from around the world. This particular lithograph exemplifies both artistic brilliance and cultural appreciation as it brings together elements of music, religion, and tradition. The image transports us back to a time when Ceylon was still known as such and provides insight into the rich heritage of Buddhism on this island nation. Pina's presence highlights not only his musical talent but also serves as a testament to how art can bridge gaps between different faiths and communities. As we gaze at this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how timeless moments captured through photography can transcend generations, allowing us to appreciate history's beauty even today.
