EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View near Point du Galle, Ceylon" takes us on a journey to the picturesque landscapes of Sri Lanka in the early 19th century. Engraved by Daniel Havell and published in 1809, this coloured engraving beautifully captures the essence of rural life in Ceylon. The scene depicts a serene village nestled amidst lush palm trees and bordered by a tranquil river. The natives are portrayed going about their daily activities, adding an authentic touch to this idyllic setting. A cow grazes peacefully nearby, symbolizing the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving, bringing out the vibrant colors that breathe life into this snapshot from history. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, enhancing its visual appeal. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are transported back in time to experience a slice of Ceylonese culture as it once was. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over centuries while also celebrating the timeless beauty that still exists within these landscapes. This remarkable piece is part of Henry Salt's collection housed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Its availability for public viewing ensures that future generations can appreciate and learn from its historical significance.
