EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned Scowen Studio in the late 19th century, transports us back in time to the lush and exotic Peradeniya Gardens in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The image showcases a traditional creeper, its vibrant and intricately patterned leaves cascading down the walls of a garden structure. The serene atmosphere is further accentuated by the gentle sunlight filtering through the foliage, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Established in the mid-19th century, the Peradeniya Gardens were a popular destination for European travelers seeking to explore the rich cultural and botanical offerings of Ceylon. This photograph, captured around the 1880s, is a testament to the enduring allure of this historic site. The early 19th century saw a surge in interest in the exotic flora and fauna of Ceylon, leading to the establishment of numerous botanical gardens across the island. The Peradeniya Gardens, with its diverse collection of plants from around the world, became a symbol of the country's rich natural heritage. This photograph, with its stunning composition and intricate detail, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when travel was an adventure, and the natural world held a sense of wonder and mystery. The creeper, with its lush foliage, serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world, a beauty that continues to inspire and captivate us to this day.
