EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the artistry and skill of lace makers in Ceylon during the late 19th century. Taken around 1890 but published in 1910 as part of "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" this image showcases the intricate process behind Ceylon Lace, entirely handcrafted by these talented women. Set against a picturesque outdoor backdrop, three local women are seen sitting together, engrossed in their work. Their focused expressions reveal their dedication to their craft, while their traditional attire reflects the cultural richness of Asia. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and timeless beauty. The photographer, Alfred William Amandus Plate, masterfully captures every detail with his panoramic photography technique. Through his lens, we gain insight into an important aspect of Sri Lanka's local industry at that time. This monochrome print transports us back to a bygone era when handmade crafts were valued for their exquisite quality and attention to detail. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of lace making in Ceylon. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, we are reminded not only of the artistic prowess displayed by these skilled artisans but also of the rich heritage embedded within each delicate thread they weave.
