EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Singhalese fishing fleet in Sri Lanka, taken by Henry W. Cave, an English photographer, around 1890. The image showcases the rich cultural heritage and traditional practices of the Singhalese people as they navigate their way through the serene waters. The photogravure technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to every detail, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment frozen in time. The small size of 5.9 × 8.9 cm emphasizes the intricate nature of this scene, inviting us to closely examine each element. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a simpler era when life revolved around sustenance from the sea. The Singhalese fishermen skillfully maneuver their boats with precision and grace, using techniques passed down through generations. The composition exudes tranquility as sunlight dances on gentle waves while seagulls gracefully soar above the fleet. This image serves as a reminder of our deep connection with nature and how it has sustained communities for centuries. Henry W. Cave's mastery behind the lens is evident in his ability to capture not only a picturesque landscape but also convey a sense of unity among these fishermen working together towards a common goal. This print from Liszt Collection offers us an intimate glimpse into Sri Lanka's maritime history and pays homage to both its natural beauty and cultural traditions that continue to thrive today.
