EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant and bustling streets of Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), in the 1930s, as captured in this stereoscopic view of Chatham Street. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the rich cultural heritage and daily life of this historic city in East Asia. The scene unfolds on a sunny day, with the wide, paved road stretching before us, lined with shops and businesses. The colorful signs and advertisements, some in English and others in Sinhali and Tamil scripts, beckon passersby. A clock tower looms in the distance, while a lighthouse stands proudly at the water's edge, marking the city's eastern coastline. The hustle and bustle of the city come alive as people go about their daily routines. Pedestrians dressed in traditional Asian attire navigate the crowded sidewalks, while rickshaws and other forms of transport, including a Ford automobile, make their way along the road. The Ford, an emblem of modernity, contrasts sharply with the traditional rickshaws, offering a glimpse into the diverse and evolving transportation landscape of the time. This stereoscopic view offers a unique and immersive window into the past, allowing us to witness the rich tapestry of life in Colombo during the 1930s. From the bustling shops and markets to the vibrant street life and diverse population, this image captures the essence of a city in motion, inviting us to explore its history and culture.
