1880 Albumen Print Entrance Glass Plate Negative Kandy
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the enchanting city of Kandy in 1880. The image, titled "Entrance Nata Dewale Grounds Kandy" was captured by Scowen & Co. , a British photography studio active in Ceylon during that time. The photo showcases the grand entrance to the Nata Dewale Grounds, an esteemed religious site in Kandy. The intricate architecture of the entrance gate is beautifully depicted, with its ornate carvings and imposing presence. The photographer's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the composition. Printed on albumen paper from a glass plate negative, this historic image measures 28 x 22.1 cm (11 x 8 11/16 in. ). It offers us a glimpse into colonial-era Ceylon, where British influence intertwined with local traditions. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also as a testament to the cultural exchange between Britain and Sri Lanka during this period. It serves as a visual reminder of how different cultures can coexist harmoniously while preserving their unique identities. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to experience the allure and majesty of Kandy's Nata Dewale Grounds as they stood over a century ago.
