EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in history - the visit of the Prince of Wales to Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka) on 21 March 1922. The image showcases one of the wonders of this enchanting island, featuring a distinguished Kandyan Chief. The portrait exudes an air of regality and cultural significance, with the chief proudly displaying his traditional attire and adorned with intricate jewelry. His majestic beard and moustache further emphasize his authority within the indigenous tribe. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into the rich national characters that make up Ceylon's diverse population. The photograph serves as a testament to their deep-rooted traditions and tribal heritage. With its monochrome aesthetic, this historical artifact transports us back to an era when colonial powers sought to explore distant lands and establish connections with far-flung cultures. It is through images like these that we can appreciate both the beauty of photography as an art form and its ability to document significant moments in our shared human history. This particular print is part of Central News' extensive collection, showcasing their commitment to preserving visual records from around the world. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrait, let us reflect on how it represents not only Ceylon's past but also celebrates its enduring legacy for generations to come.
