EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of Maskeliya showing Adams Peak" takes us back to the late 19th century in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The artist behind this masterpiece is Alfred William Amandus Plate, who skillfully captures the essence of this Asian landscape. The image showcases a picturesque village nestled amidst majestic mountains. A road winds through the scene, bustling with local people going about their daily lives. Men can be seen carrying various items on their heads as they traverse the bridge that connects different parts of the village. The rooftops of traditional houses dotting the lane add charm to this rural setting. Adams Peak, a prominent geographical feature in central province Sri Lanka, stands tall in the background. Its imposing presence adds grandeur to an already breathtaking vista. This aerial view provides a unique perspective on both man-made structures and natural beauty coexisting harmoniously. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from Plate's collection called "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" we are transported to a bygone era where simplicity met serenity. It serves as a reminder of how landscapes shape our literature and art throughout history. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only Plate's artistic talent but also offers glimpses into life during early 20th-century Ceylon. It is truly an invaluable piece for any lover of heritage and culture seeking to explore the wonders captured within its frame.
