EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting streets of Mutwal, a fishing village in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the late 19th century. The image, captured by Christian Wilhelm Allers for his book "Rund um die Erde" [Round the Earth], transports us to a time when life was simpler and connected closely with nature. In this street scene, we witness a young boy proudly displaying his catch of the day. With bare feet firmly planted on the sandy ground, he stands amidst a backdrop of rustic houses and bustling activity. The coastal location is evident as seagulls soar above him, adding an element of liveliness to the scene. The lithograph beautifully portrays both the charm and livelihood that revolved around fishing in this quaint village. It offers a glimpse into daily life where seafood played an integral role in sustaining not only individuals but also their community. Christian Wilhelm Allers' artistic talent shines through as he skillfully captures every detail - from the intricate expressions on people's faces to the vibrant aquatic life that surrounds them. This print serves as a testament to Allers' ability to transport viewers across time and space through his artistry. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of Ceylon's rich cultural heritage and its deep connection with its coastal surroundings. It is truly an exquisite snapshot frozen in time that continues to captivate audiences even over a century later.
