EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Kandy, Ceylon, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image showcases the iconic Colombo Apothecaries Co. Ltd. , a prominent Sri Lankan establishment that operated between 1880 and the 1920s. The photograph beautifully captures the grandeur of this historic building, which served as a hub for pharmaceutical products and medical supplies during its heyday. Its architectural design reflects a blend of traditional Sri Lankan elements with colonial influences, showcasing intricate details and ornate features. The albumen silver print technique used to capture this image adds depth and richness to every detail, making it feel almost tangible despite being taken over a century ago. The composition allows us to appreciate not only the physical structure but also provides insight into daily life in Kandy at that time. While we cannot see inside or learn about specific individuals associated with this particular apothecary company through this photo print, it serves as an invaluable window into history. It reminds us of how businesses like these played crucial roles in serving communities' healthcare needs while contributing to their cultural fabric. Whether you are an admirer of historical architecture or fascinated by Sri Lanka's rich heritage, this remarkable albumen silver print transports you back in time to experience a slice of life in Kandy during its flourishing years after 1892.
