EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Kandy in 1926. The image offers a mesmerizing view of the serene lake, as seen from Greory-Road towards NNW. The photograph is part of the renowned book "Der Indische Kulturkreis in Einzeldarstellungen" by Georg Muller, published in Munich. The scene showcases the natural beauty and cultural richness of Sri Lanka, known as Ceylon at that time. It captures a momentous era when photography was still evolving but had already become a powerful medium for capturing landscapes and preserving history. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this century-old snapshot, emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this picture, we are transported to a time when Kandy was a bustling city surrounded by breathtaking geography. The composition highlights not only the picturesque lake but also hints at the vibrant life within Maha Nuvara (Kandy). This image serves as both an artistic representation and a valuable geographical feature that documents Sri Lankan heritage. As we contemplate this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, it reminds us how photography can transcend time and space, allowing us to connect with distant places and cultures. Let this print be a window into history—a testament to human curiosity and our desire to explore new horizons.
