1. Title: "Map of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in the 1920s: A Visual Testament to the British Tea Industry's Colonial Expansion" This map print, dated circa 1920, offers a glimpse into the British colonial influence on Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the 1920s, with a focus on the burgeoning tea industry. The map, bathed in a warm, sunlit hue, beautifully illustrates the island nation's geography, with its intricate network of tea plantations spread across the lush, green highlands. The map's vibrant colors – a rich tapestry of blue seas, sun-kissed land, and the verdant greens of the tea plantations – evoke a sense of tranquility and prosperity. The island's strategic location in the Indian Ocean, marked by the presence of ships and shipping lanes, underscores its importance as a vital trading hub during the colonial era. The British Empire's influence is evident in the map's meticulous detailing, with the tea plantations neatly demarcated and labeled, showcasing the extensive reach of the tea industry. The map serves as a testament to the British colonial endeavor in Ceylon, which transformed the island into a major global tea producer. The map's visual appeal extends beyond its historical significance, making it an intriguing addition to any collection focused on colonial history, geography, or the tea industry. Its evocative imagery of sunshine, sea, land, and the promise of a cup of fine Ceylon tea, continues to resonate with us today, offering a glimpse into a bygone era.
