1863 1874 Ceylon Galle Landing Stage Sri Lanka
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the enchanting coastal town of Galle, Sri Lanka. Taken between 1863 and 1874, this albumen silver print showcases the bustling Landing Stage at Point de Galle, a significant port during that era. The image captures the essence of maritime trade and travel in colonial Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka). The landing stage stands proudly against a backdrop of palm trees and azure waters, exuding an air of grandeur and importance. With its intricate architecture and sturdy construction, it served as a gateway for ships arriving from distant lands. As we gaze upon this historical gem, our imagination runs wild with stories of merchants unloading exotic goods from far-flung destinations. We can almost hear the echoes of bustling activity - sailors shouting orders, crates being hoisted onto wagons, and locals eagerly awaiting news from abroad. The albumen silver print technique used to capture this moment in time adds depth and richness to every detail. The sepia tones evoke a sense of nostalgia while preserving the authenticity of the scene. This photograph is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is also a valuable record that allows us to glimpse into Sri Lanka's past. It reminds us of the cultural exchange that took place through these ports centuries ago – connecting people across continents through trade routes on land and sea. In admiring this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to an era where adventure awaited around every corner
