EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - The Duke and Duchess of Connaught leaving Colombo Harbour at night in 1890. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, showcases the grandeur of this departure as the couple embarked on their journey. The scene is illuminated by a spectacular display of fireworks that light up the night sky, adding to the enchantment and excitement surrounding their departure. The harbour is bustling with activity, filled with rowing boats and sailing ships that serve as a backdrop for this historic moment. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to the 19th century, immersing ourselves in its Victorian charm. It serves as a reminder of Britain's influence during that era and its strong presence in Sri Lanka. Preserved within the pages of "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in history. Its inclusion within such esteemed publications highlights its significance at that time. Though created over a century ago, this image continues to captivate viewers today through its timeless beauty and historical value. It stands as a testament to the power of photography in preserving moments that would otherwise be lost to time. Credit must be given to "The Print Collector" for making this remarkable piece available for our appreciation and reflection on our shared heritage.
