EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the serenity of nature, this print showcases the breathtaking view of the Kelani River in Kurunegala, Ceylon, taken in 1895. The Kelani River is renowned as the fourth-longest river in Sri Lanka, and its beauty is beautifully portrayed in this century-old image. The photograph was originally featured in 'Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago', a publication by George Newnes Ltd. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era when Ceylon was still known as such. The landscape depicted here is truly captivating - dense forests surround the riverbanks, creating an enchanting rainforest setting. Towering trees dominate the scene, their branches reaching towards each other as if forming a natural canopy above. Lush vegetation thrives along the river's edge, adding vibrant splashes of green to this monochrome composition. This historical print not only captures a specific location but also serves as a testament to human curiosity about distant lands during that time period. The W & S Ltd (not mentioned whether it refers to a company or not) played an instrumental role in preserving this moment for future generations. As we admire this snapshot from another time, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its significance as part of our collective heritage.
