EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fisherman, c1890" by Alfred William Amandus Plate, takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of Ceylon in the early 20th century. The image showcases a distinguished elderly man carrying his fishing net on his shoulders while donning traditional attire and a hat that shields him from the scorching Asian sun. The fisherman's weathered face tells tales of a life spent at sea, embodying the resilience and wisdom gained through years of hard work. His gaze is fixed away from the camera, perhaps lost in thoughts about his next catch or reminiscing about past adventures on these very shores. This photograph not only captures an individual but also serves as a window into Sri Lanka's local industry during this era. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and livelihoods tied to fishing that have sustained communities for centuries. As we admire this monochrome portrait, we are transported to another time – an age when literature like "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" sought to preserve such moments forever. This print allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent of Alfred William Amandus Plate and the historical significance embedded within every detail. Let this remarkable image serve as a reminder of our connection with nature and how it shapes our lives across continents throughout history.
