EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Tamil Estate Children, c1890" by Alfred William Amandus Plate, offers a glimpse into the lives of two young children in early 20th century Sri Lanka. The artist's lens beautifully captures the innocence and curiosity radiating from their faces as they stand side by side. Dressed in traditional attire, these Tamil estate children represent the rich cultural heritage of Asia. Their religious background is hinted at through subtle symbols adorning their clothing. This image serves as a testament to the diversity and vibrancy of Hinduism on this enchanting continent. The monochrome composition adds depth and timelessness to this portrait, allowing us to travel back over a century ago when life was simpler yet filled with its own unique challenges. As we observe these youngsters looking away from the camera, one cannot help but wonder about their dreams and aspirations amidst an era marked by colonial influence. Printed as part of "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" published by Plate Ltd in 1910, this photograph stands as a remarkable piece of literature that documents local people's lives during that period. It reminds us of our duty to preserve such historical treasures for future generations to appreciate.
