EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the well-to-do people of Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka) during the 1800s. The image, an antique hand-colored print, beautifully captures the essence of this era's upper class society. In this vintage depiction, we see a man and a woman dressed in exquisite fashion that reflects their status and wealth. The man dons a stylish hat and clothing made from luxurious silk fabric, while the woman is adorned in a traditional sari, showcasing her heritage and native roots. Their attire exudes elegance and sophistication. The illustration provides us with a glimpse into Sri Lanka's rich history and cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of how fashion played an essential role in expressing one's social standing during this time period. Set against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean, this artwork transports us back to the 19th century when Ceylon was still under British colonial rule. It offers us insights into both Asian aesthetics and Western influences that shaped Sri Lankan society at that time. This print not only captures an era but also tells stories of opulence, tradition, and societal norms prevalent among the upper class in Sri Lanka during the 1800s.
