EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Royal Botanic Gardens in Peradeniya, Kandy, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), in the year 1898. The image showcases a mesmerizing sight of giant trees that dominate the landscape with their towering presence. These magnificent specimens stand as silent witnesses to centuries of growth and evolution. The botanical gardens, renowned for their tropical and exotic plant collection, provide an idyllic setting for nature enthusiasts and travelers alike. This particular photograph was captured by Christian Wilhelm Allers, a talented writer and illustrator who documented his journeys around the world in his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth). The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this lush paradise, where visitors can immerse themselves in the serenity of nature while exploring its diverse flora. The intricate network of roots serves as a testament to both strength and resilience. As we gaze upon this snapshot from another era, we are transported back to a time when travel was less common but equally awe-inspiring. It is through such images that we can appreciate how our understanding of different cultures has evolved over time. Let this print serve as a reminder of the timeless beauty found within botanical gardens worldwide – places where artistry meets nature's wonders – inviting us to explore, learn, and connect with our surroundings on a deeper level.
