EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in 1898 by Christian Wilhelm Allers, transports us to the enchanting world of Kandy, Ceylon. The focus of the image is a young Tamil boy, his innocent eyes gazing directly at the viewer. Standing amidst nature's beauty, he holds a large leaf with both hands, as if presenting it as an offering. The boy's attire reflects the traditional clothing of Sri Lanka during that era. His dress is adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors that harmonize perfectly with his dark hair cascading down his shoulders. To shield himself from the sun's rays, he carries an umbrella or parasol made from natural materials. Allers' lithograph captures not only the physical appearance but also reveals something deeper about this child - a sense of resilience and curiosity for life. The photograph emanates a timeless quality that transcends centuries. This portrait was originally featured in Allers' book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), where he documented various cultures through his illustrations and writings. It serves as a testament to Allers' talent as both an artist and storyteller. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are reminded of how art can bridge gaps between different countries and eras while preserving cultural heritage for generations to come.
