EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Studies of people, Ceylon, 1898" takes us back in time to the enchanting island of Sri Lanka. The image showcases a collection of portraits captured by Christian Wilhelm Allers during his travels around the world. At the top, we see the dignified head waiter at the Grand Oriental Hotel in Colombo, exuding an air of authority and professionalism. Surrounding him are other Ceylonese individuals - men, women, boys, and girls - each with their own unique stories etched on their faces. Their traditional hairstyles and attire provide a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this beautiful country. Allers' artistic talent shines through in this lithograph from his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), where he not only wrote but also illustrated his travel experiences. This particular piece transports us to late 19th-century Ceylon and offers a window into its vibrant society. The print captures both beauty and diversity as it celebrates everyday people going about their lives. It serves as a reminder that behind every face lies a story waiting to be heard. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving this historical gem that allows us to connect with our past and appreciate the artistry of Christian Wilhelm Allers' work.
