EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of tradition and cultural heritage in Kandy, Sri Lanka, back in 1926. The image showcases an Ortsvorstand, or local leader, adorned in the exquisite altsinghalesische Tracht, which is the traditional Sinhalese costume. The man's attire consists of a magnificent hat that adds grandeur to his appearance. His bearded face reflects wisdom and experience as he gazes directly into the camera lens with confidence. Every detail of his clothing speaks volumes about the rich history and customs of this Asian country. Taken outdoors against a scenic backdrop, this photograph transports us to another era - a time when Sri Lankan culture thrived amidst its breathtaking landscapes. The monochrome aesthetic further enhances the timeless quality of this image. Preserved through time by Georg Muller's lens and featured in Der Indische Kulturkreis in Einzeldarstellungen publication from Munich, this historic print offers a glimpse into early 20th-century Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka). It serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of traditional dress within different cultures around the world. Whether you are fascinated by photography or intrigued by diverse traditions, this remarkable portrait will undoubtedly captivate your imagination and transport you to an era long gone but not forgotten.
