EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Coaching in Ceylon, Incidents of a Journey into the Interior" takes us on a visual journey back to 1899. The image showcases the last stage of a thrilling and eventful trip through the beautiful landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. As we delve into this historic scene, we witness an array of fascinating incidents unfolding before our eyes. Passengers eagerly await their turn to cross a ford, while others change coaches in preparation for the next leg of their adventure. Mails are being sorted and loaded onto carriages, ensuring efficient communication between different regions. The enchanting atmosphere is heightened by the presence of majestic horses that play an integral role in this mode of transportation. These noble creatures diligently carry passengers across rugged terrains and provide an essential link between distant destinations. Through this print, artist William Ralston skillfully captures both the excitement and challenges faced during long-distance travel in colonial-era Ceylon. The illustration was originally featured in The Graphic magazine on September 16th, 1899 - offering readers a glimpse into exotic lands far from home. Today, this artwork serves as a testament to historical exploration and cultural exchange. It reminds us of the rich heritage and diverse landscapes that define Sri Lanka's identity as it continues to captivate travelers from around the world with its natural beauty and vibrant culture.
