EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A house in Kandy, Ceylon (Sri-Lanka), immersed in the vegetation" we are transported back to the late 19th century. The image showcases a picturesque scene of a charming house nestled amidst lush greenery. The vibrant vegetation envelops the structure, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Inside the house, we catch a glimpse of a man sitting on a small armchair, his presence adding depth and intrigue to the composition. His identity remains unknown, leaving us with questions about his story and connection to this idyllic setting. The foreground of the photograph reveals a meticulously maintained garden that stretches out before the house. It is evident that great care has been taken to cultivate this oasis of tranquility. The variety of plants and flowers adds bursts of color against the backdrop of verdant foliage. As our gaze extends beyond the garden, we are met with an awe-inspiring sight - a rocky mountain looming majestically in the background. Its rugged beauty serves as both contrast and complement to the delicate architecture and natural splendor surrounding it. Dating back to 1880-1890, this print captures not only architectural details but also provides insight into life during that era in Sri Lanka (then known as Ceylon). It offers glimpses into how people lived harmoniously with nature while creating their own havens within its embrace. This stunning visual narrative was captured by an unidentified author from Alinari – their skilled eye immortalizing this moment for generations to come. Through this photograph, we can appreciate not just one man's home but also gain appreciation for landscapes, gardens, parks, trees, palms - all elements that contribute to our collective understanding and love for nature's wonders.
