EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic General Post Office with the entrance to Queens House and Clock Tower in the distance. Taken around 1890 by artist Alfred William Amandus Plate, this image was later featured in the renowned book "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" published in 1910. Transportation and urban life come alive through this snapshot of a bustling street scene in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The architecture of the buildings showcases a blend of Asian influences, while carts traverse along the lane, showcasing road transport from that era. The sunlight bathes the scene with its warm glow, casting shadows that add depth to every detail captured by Plate's lens. This monochrome masterpiece not only highlights architectural beauty but also serves as a window into life during the late 19th century. As you gaze upon this print, you are transported back in time to an era when communication relied heavily on postal services. The clock tower stands tall amidst its surroundings, symbolizing punctuality and orderliness within society. Plate's artistic perspective provides viewers with a unique vantage point that allows them to appreciate both the grandeur of these historical landmarks and their significance within Colombo's cityscape. It is truly a remarkable piece that encapsulates centuries-old history within one frame.
