EDITORS COMMENTS
This antique hand-colored print showcases the Men of Jaffna, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in their most exquisite attire. Taken in the 19th century, this vintage photograph captures a momentous ceremony where these distinguished men proudly display their traditional clothing and accessories. The intricate embroidery on their garments reflects the rich cultural heritage of Asia. Each man is adorned with stunning jewelry and headpieces made of gold, symbolizing their status and importance within the community. Their hats, crafted with meticulous detail, add an extra touch of elegance to their overall appearance. The use of silk fabric further enhances the regal aura surrounding them. This illustration offers a glimpse into the history and traditions of Jaffna's male population during that era. It serves as a valuable reminder of how fashion played an integral role in defining one's identity and social standing at that time. The North Wind Picture Archives has preserved this remarkable piece for enthusiasts interested in exploring Sri Lanka's past through visual artistry
