This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 17th century, specifically an engraving depicting the Map of Candy City in Ceylon, present-day Sri Lanka. The intricate details and artistry evident in this historical map are truly awe-inspiring. The image captures an aerial view of Candy City, showcasing its topography and architectural marvels. The old-fashioned charm is palpable as the Western script guides viewers through the city's streets and landmarks. One can't help but be drawn to the beautifully illustrated buildings, adorned with exquisite engravings that reflect the rich history of this human settlement. The map also highlights natural elements such as trees and rivers, adding depth to its portrayal of Candy City's landscape. It serves not only as a navigational tool but also as a window into the past, offering insights into how cities were planned and developed centuries ago. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, it transports us back in time to an era when navigational equipment was limited yet ingenuity prevailed. This horizontal composition invites exploration and sparks curiosity about what life was like within these walls centuries ago. With no people visible in the image, one can imagine traversing these ancient streets alone or perhaps envision themselves as part of a bustling crowd during that bygone era.
