EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a charming view of an avenue in Colombo, the bustling capital city of Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon). Taken between 1910-1920, this image showcases the architectural beauty and cultural heritage of the Isle. In the background stands a magnificent clock tower, its elegant design adding a touch of grandeur to the scene. The avenue is lined with tall palm trees, their branches swaying gently in the breeze. The lush vegetation creates a picturesque setting for this urban landscape, blending nature seamlessly with man-made structures. The two-light windows on buildings along the avenue add an element of symmetry and balance to the composition. The clock tower serves not only as a decorative feature but also as an instrument for time measurement. Its presence reminds us that amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, time continues to tick away steadily. As we gaze upon this view, we are transported back in time to witness Colombo's charm during its early years. It offers us a glimpse into daily life in this vibrant city - people strolling down the avenue, horse-drawn carriages passing by, and perhaps even street vendors selling their wares. Although taken by an unidentified author from Alinari, this print preserves a moment frozen in history. It invites us to appreciate both the architectural marvels and natural beauty that make Colombo such a unique destination.
