EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "View of the harbour and town of Galle" takes us back to the bustling streets of 17th century Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Published in Amsterdam in 1676 by the Dutch School, this print offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Dutch East Indies and their influential trading company, the Dutch East India Company. The image showcases Galle's picturesque harbor, with its calm waters reflecting vibrant hues of blue. The town itself is depicted as a lively hub of activity, with rows of charming buildings lining its narrow streets. From merchants unloading exotic goods from ships to locals going about their daily lives, every detail captures a moment frozen in time. As we delve deeper into this enchanting scene, we can almost hear the sounds that would have filled these historic streets - seagulls soaring overhead, waves gently lapping against boats at anchor, and distant chatter echoing through market stalls. This lithograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also acts as a valuable historical document. It allows us to travel back centuries and witness firsthand how trade and cultural exchange shaped this region during colonial times. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale de Cartes et Plans in Paris, France; this piece reminds us that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing moments that transcend time.
