EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 20th century, capturing a serene moment at the Nuwara Eliya Golf Links in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The image showcases a golfer on the 7th tee, ready to take a swing amidst the lush greenery of this picturesque golf course. Constructed in 1889 by a Scottish soldier of the Gordon Highlanders, this golf course was initially intended for British servicemen and officials stationed in Nuwara Eliya. Nestled within the Central Province of Sri Lanka, it provided them with an oasis-like retreat from their duties. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this scene, emphasizing its historical significance. Tall trees frame the fairway, casting shadows that dance across the grassy expanse. The golfer stands poised with their club in hand, focused on perfecting their shot. This print is not just about sports; it encapsulates elements of nature and colonial history as well. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures intertwined during that era and left behind legacies like this beautiful golf course. A testament to human ingenuity and appreciation for leisurely pursuits amidst stunning landscapes, this image invites us to step into history and imagine ourselves taking part in a game played over a century ago.
