EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Hall of Tusks, in the home of Lady de Soysa, Bambalapitiya, Colombo, Ceylon, 1903" takes us back to a bygone era in Sri Lanka. The image showcases an opulent interior filled with grandeur and exoticism. In this magnificent hall adorned with intricate details and elegant furnishings, rows upon rows of majestic elephant tusks steal the spotlight. Lady de Soysa's residence is a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage and its close association with elephants. These revered creatures are not only celebrated for their strength but also symbolize prosperity and power. The chandelier hanging from above casts a warm glow on the ivory tusks, creating a mesmerizing play of light and shadow. This monochrome photograph captures every fine detail meticulously preserved by Underwood & Underwood. It offers us a glimpse into the refined taste and sophistication prevalent during that time period. The British Empire's influence is evident in both the architectural style and interior design choices. As we admire this stereoscopic card from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us through time. This remarkable piece invites contemplation on our relationship with nature and our ever-evolving understanding of cultural preservation.
