EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Street Scene in Kandy" transports viewers to the vibrant city of Kandy in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The image, a colour lithograph by Alexander Henry Hallam Murray, captures the essence of life on the bustling streets. The scene is alive with activity as people go about their daily routines against a backdrop of traditional architecture and lush greenery. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition, from the intricate patterns adorning the buildings to the colorful clothing worn by locals. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era when colonial influence was still palpable. This particular street scene serves as an illustration for "The High-Road of Empire" a book penned by A. H. Hallam Murray and published by John Murray in 1905. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry that defines Asia. It reminds us of how diverse and interconnected our world truly is. From its depiction of everyday life to its celebration of architectural beauty, this image encapsulates both the unique charm and timeless allure that make Kandy such a fascinating destination. This print offers not only aesthetic pleasure but also invites contemplation about history and culture—a testament to why it has become such an invaluable piece within private collections worldwide.
